Modular environmental monitoring device

A method for managing communication of a modular environmental monitoring device, the method comprising:

• determining a first communication mode from a set of available communication modes for the modular environmental monitoring device;
• obtaining environmental data from a sensor of the modular environmental monitoring device;
• providing, via the first communication mode, an indication of the environmental data to a device management platform;
• identifying a communication failure for the first communication mode;
• and
• in response to identifying the communication failure:
• determining a second communication mode from the set of available communication modes;
• and
• providing, using the second communication mode, a subsequent indication of environmental data from the sensor of the modular environmental monitoring device.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
• determining a communication mode from a set of available communication modes associated with a modular subassembly that is communicatively coupled to the system;
• obtaining environmental data from a sensor;
• providing, via the determined communication mode of the modular subassembly, an indication of the environmental data to a device management platform
• identifying a communication failure;
• and
• in response to identifying the communication failure, performing at least one of:
• storing, in local storage, environmental data from the sensor;
• or
• determining another communication mode from the set of available communication modes and using the another communication mode to provide a subsequent indication of environmental data from the sensor.
