Original Abstract Submitted
A first status signal can be received by a controller device from a first user proxy device. The first status signal can indicate whether the first user proxy device is within a threshold distance from a location. The location can be associated with a state and one or more devices. Settings on the one or more devices can be based on the state. The state can be determined from a hierarchy of potential states. Determining the state from a hierarchy of potential states can be based on satisfying a criteria of a parent state of the hierarchy. Determining the state can be further based on satisfying a second criteria of a child state of the parent state.
