Abstract
A wireless environmental sensor or monitoring device includes a sensor configured to detect an environmental parameter. A radio module is configured to wirelessly communicate data corresponding to the detected environmental parameter to a remote system. The device also includes logic executable by a processor unit to switch the radio module between a wireless access point (AP) operating mode and a wireless client operating mode.
Claims12
A device, comprising:
- a sensor;
- a monitor module for monitoring and collecting data corresponding to an environmental parameter detected by the sensor;
- a radio module configured to enable wireless communication of the data to a remote system;
- and
- wherein the monitor module is configured to:
- operate in a first operating parameter mode according to a first setting for monitoring the environmental parameter while the device is mobile;
- and
- operate in a second operating parameter mode according to a second setting for monitoring the environmental parameter while the device is stationary;
- and
- wherein the first setting monitors for a shock frequency different than a shock frequency defined by the second setting.
