Abstract
Disclosed is a system that can include an environmental detector having an environmental sensor and a detector electrical contact configured to transfer environmental sensor data. A communication hub can be configured to communicate with the environmental detector and receive the environmental sensor data. The communication hub can include a hub electrical contact configured to electrically connect with the detector electrical contact to enable transfer of the environmental sensor data.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- an environmental detector comprising:
- an environmental sensor and an air ingress path allowing air to enter the environmental detector;
- and
- a detector electrical contact configured to transfer environmental sensor data;
- a communication hub forming part of an integrated circuit with the environmental sensor and configured to receive the environmental sensor data;
- at least one programmable processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions recorded thereon, the instructions when executed by a computer having the at least one programmable processor causing operations comprising:
- requiring receipt of an electronic token, such that the environmental sensor data cannot be decrypted until receipt of the electronic token is confirmed.
