Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback in a home automation monitoring system are provided. A method for providing haptic feedback in a home automation system includes receiving an electronic command by a home automation controller, from a haptic feedback remote control device. The home automation controller determines whether the electronic command is associated with a user interface control condition stored in a haptic effects database. If so, the home automation controller accesses the haptic effects database to identify a first haptic feedback effect associated with the determined user interface control condition, and transmits a first haptic feedback command indicating the first haptic feedback effect to the haptic feedback remote control device. A haptic feedback element in the haptic feedback remote control device is then activated to provide the first haptic feedback effect to a user of the haptic feedback remote control device.
