Methods, systems, and devices for detecting and analyzing activation of a fluid dispenser

A system for storing, accessing, and analyzing data from a plurality of dispensers and locations, the system comprising:

• a server coupled to a network, the server including:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising a database that stores dispensing related information for the plurality of dispensers, wherein:
• the server is accessible via a terminal;
• and
• the processor and the memory are configured to be accessed by the terminal to:
• identify a person in proximity to a dispenser;
• and
• determine whether the dispenser operates to dispense a fluid while the identified person is in proximity to the dispenser.

A method for automatically determining when a host device dispenses a fluid, the method comprising:

• attaching a sensor device to the host device, the sensor being configured to monitor host device activity;
• causing the host device to dispense a fluid while the sensor is monitoring host device activity;
• storing a record of the monitoring of the host device activity while the device dispenses a fluid;
• and
• applying a filter to the sensor device so as to cause the sensor to provide notification when the host device is determined from monitoring to have dispensed a fluid.
