Trigger event based response execution with automatic power on/off

A method, comprising:

• sending, from a sensor apparatus, an identification message over a wireless communication network in response to a trigger event sensed by a sensor device comprised in the sensor apparatus, the identification message consisting of a unique identifier of the sensor apparatus;
• receiving the identification message at a network server;
• accessing, by the network server, a preconfigured action profile associated with the unique identifier in the received identification message;
• and
• causing, by the network server, a response action to be executed based on information in the accessed action profile,
• wherein the sensor apparatus comprises a button, and the trigger event consists of pressing the button;
• and
• the method further comprises switching the sensor apparatus on in response to the pressing of the button.
