In some implementations, the control unit server 104a may send a response to display a message on the client device 122a that says “Smart Home, home armed” once the control unit server 104a sets the parameters. In addition, the control unit server 104a transmits a message to the monitoring server 134 that the residential facility 102 finished arming. At this point, the user 124a may get in vehicle 128 and drive to the commercial facility 136 down roadway 130. The monitoring server 134 learns the commute time from the resident facility 102 to the commercial facility 136 is 25-30 minutes (129) based on past trips taken by the user 124a. In other implementations, the monitoring server 134 may determine traffic conditions along the road 130 by checking web sites that list current road conditions. Specifically, the monitoring server 134 learns the commute time 129 based on a date and time associated with when the user 124a leaves the resident facility 102 with a date and time associated with when the user badges in at commercial facility 136.
