1. A system for two-way automatic sensor data collection, the system comprising:

  • at least one one-way automatic sensor, each one-way automatic sensor coupled to a corresponding one-way endpoint;

    at least one two-way automatic sensor, each two-way sensor coupled to a corresponding two-way endpoint;

    an endpoint proxy device configured to receive data from the at least one one-way automatic sensor and the at least one two-way automatic sensor, the endpoint proxy device including hardware circuitry configured to implement;

    a remote endpoint interface module configured to wirelessly receive, via the hardware circuitry, one-way transmissions originated from each of the at least one one-way endpoints, the one-way transmissions including sensor data from the at least one sensor transmitted in via a one-way communications protocol; and

    a remote endpoint virtualization module operatively coupled with the remote endpoint interface module and configured to store sensor data received in the one-way transmissions for a first assigned one-way endpoint of the at least one one-way endpoints, and transmit a sensor data report based on the sensor data for the first assigned one-way endpoint, wherein the sensor data report is transmitted via a two-way communications protocol.
