1. A method, comprising:
receiving first data from a first device associated with an environment, the first device associated with a first device type;
receiving second data from a second device associated with the environment, the second device associated with a second device type that differs from the first device type;
determining a first environment activity state of the environment using the first data based at least in part on the first device being associated with the first device type;
determining to transition from the first environment activity state to a second environment activity state with respect to the environment, the second environment activity state indicating that a user associated with the environment has moved away from the environment;
based at least in part on determining to transition from the first environment activity state to the second environment activity state, determining that a first device state of the second device differs from a second device state associated with the second activity state; and
based at least in part on the first device being in the first device state instead of the second device state, sending, to a third device, third data representing a first suggestion to transition the first device from the first device state to the second device state, wherein the third device differs from the second device.
