US Patent 10229394 Systems and methods for sending diagnostic information during scheduling of home equipment repair

A method and system may automatically detect failures and send diagnostic information when scheduling home equipment repairs in a smart home environment. A smart home controller may receive sensor data from each of several pieces of home equipment to detect whether any failures have occurred. If the smart home controller detects a failure in one of the pieces of home equipment based on the sensor data, the smart home controller may communicate diagnostic information for the piece of home equipment experiencing the failure to a repair service provider to schedule a repair.
