Devices, systems, and methods for monitoring controlled spaces for transitory uses

A monitoring-device for electronic monitoring of a controlled space, wherein the controlled space is for transitory use, wherein the monitoring-device comprises:

• at least one enclosure that at least partially houses electronics of the monitoring-device;
• and
• the electronics, wherein the electronics comprises:
• at least one processor, at least one sensor, and at least one radio;
• wherein the at least one sensor is configured to sense at least one condition of the controlled space;
• wherein the at least one radio is configured for wireless communication;
• wherein the at least one radio is configured to be in periodic wireless communication with at least one network connection;
• and wherein the at least one processor is operatively connected to:
• the at least one sensor and the at least one radio;
• wherein the at least one processor controls the at least one sensor and the at least one radio;
• wherein the monitoring-device, via the at least one radio, is configured to communicate with software running on a server by the at least one radio wirelessly connecting to a gateway of an ad hoc network that is in communication with the server.
