1. A method for smart sensing using a security or home automation system, comprising:
receiving, from a sensor by a sensing smart manager, sensor data associated with an event and an occupant at a structure, the event comprising a task that the occupant performs in relation to the structure;
determining, by the sensing smart manager, a first characteristic associated with the occupant during performance of the event based at least in part on the received sensor data, the first characteristic indicating how the occupant performs the event;
determining, by an event component, a type of the event based at least in part on the first characteristic;
identifying, by an occupant component, an identity of an occupant based at least in part on the first characteristic and the type of the event obtained by the event component, wherein a combination of the first characteristic of the event, and the type of the event indicates the identity of the occupant;
analyzing, by the sensing smart manager, based at least in part on the identity obtained from the occupant component, a comparison with a stored baseline for how the identified occupant performs the event, the baseline corresponding to the identity and comprising at least one of: a length of time taken for the identified occupant to perform the event, a pattern of the identified occupant's performance of the event, or a combination thereof; and
in response to determining that the identified occupant performs the event differently from the baseline of the identified occupant, based at least in part on the first characteristic, generating a notification, by the smart sensing manager, and transmitting, via a transmitter, a notification to a designated individual.
