Abstract
Techniques and systems are provided for interfacing one or more event detectors coupled by a common interconnect with a network interface. Interconnect signals indicative of events detected by the one or more event detectors using sensor data are propagated on the common interconnect. A monitor device indirectly or directly couple to the common interconnect monitors the interconnect signals. Information about a first event detector of the one or more event detectors is inferred, in part, from the interconnect signals and transmitted via the network interface.

1-20. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- an event detector comprising an optical isolation device that allows a transmission of light in only one direction;
- a sensor configured to measure a quantity associated with an environment proximate to the event detector;
- a receiver configured to receive an optical signal from the event detector via the optical isolation device;
- a base station, in communication with the receiver, configured to generate data and metadata associated with the event detector according to the optical signal and the quantity measured by the sensor, wherein the metadata indicates a history of false alerts;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the data to a computing device via a network interface.
A method comprising:
- receiving an optical signal via an optical isolation device that allows a transmission of light in only one direction;
- generating, via a base station, data and metadata according to the optical signal and a sensor, wherein the metadata indicates a history of false alerts;
- and
- transmitting the data to a computing device via a network interface.
