Claims20
A method for monitoring roof integrity, comprising:
- positioning a plurality of monitoring devices throughout a roof, each monitoring device comprising a power supply, at least one detection device, a conduit, a shroud at one end of the conduit, a motivating source and a central processor;
- for each of the plurality of monitoring devices, passing air using the motivating source from inside of a roof assembly of the roof through the conduit to the at least one detection device and expelling said air to atmosphere;
- configuring at least one of the plurality of monitoring devices to communicate an input received to its respective central processor to a receiver of a different monitoring device of the plurality of monitoring devices, said input corresponding to detection of at least one parameter detected by a corresponding detection device;
- and
- configuring at least one of the plurality of monitoring devices to communicate an input received to its respective central processor to a receiver of a centralized device separate from the monitoring device, said input corresponding to detection of at least one parameter detected by a corresponding detection device.
