Abstract:
Systems and methods for self-administering a sound test to verify operation of a speaker and/or alarm within a hazard detection system are described herein. The sound test can verify that the audible sources such as the alarm and speaker operate at the requisite loudness and frequencies. In addition, the sound test can be self-administered in that it does not require the presence of a person to initiate or verify that the audible sources are functioning properly.

Claim (Index 22):
A smart home device, comprising:\n a loud sounder; and at least one processor operative to:\n determine a non-invasive time frame to perform a sound test of the loud sounder based on at least in part on a location of at least one mobile device associated with an account tied to the smart home device or at least in part on a schedule of acceptable time of day to perform the sound test; and \n self-administer a sound test of the loud sounder at the non-invasive time frame, wherein the non-invasive time frame is a time frame in which no occupants are present in a structure comprising the smart home device, wherein during execution of the sound test, the at least one processor is operative to: \n temporarily activate the loud sounder; \n monitor for an audio signal during temporary activation of the loud sounder; \n determine whether the audio signal satisfies sound test criteria; and \n report a result of whether the audio signal satisfied sound test criteria.
