1. A method for using a system comprising a plurality of wireless communication circuits, comprising:
sounding an alarm in response to an alert event;
communicating a notification of the alert event via first wireless communication circuitry in response to the alert event, wherein the notification is received by a user device associated with an account linked to the system, and wherein the first wireless communication circuitry is configured to transmit the notification from the system to a central server over the internet;
communicating the notification of the alert via third wireless communication circuitry to one or more local devices;
detecting a non-contact gestural instruction from a user performed in a monitorable vicinity of the user device to silence the alarm;
receiving, via the first wireless communications circuitry, a request for access status for a second wireless communications circuitry;
receiving, via the first wireless communications circuitry, priority status from the second wireless communications circuitry;
granting access to the second wireless communications circuitry based on the received request for access status and received priority status for the second wireless communications circuitry;
receiving the instruction to silence the alarm from the user device via the second wireless communication circuitry, wherein the second wireless communication circuitry and the third wireless communication circuitry operate according to a priority scheme at non-overlapping time intervals such that the notification of the alert is sent to the one or more local device during an interval assigned to the third wireless communication circuitry, and the instruction to silence the alarm from the user device is sent during an interval assigned to the second wireless communication circuitry; and
altering a state of the system by hushing the alarm in response to receipt of the instruction.
