Relaying communications in a wireless sensor system
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. An audio-enabled wireless device configured for bidirectional wireless communication in a wireless mesh network, the wireless device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
an audio output element;
a reset element; and
a controller operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver, the audio output element, and the reset element, the controller being configured to;
receive a communication packet using the wireless transceiver, the communication packet including a preamble portion, an identification code portion, a data payload portion, and an integrity portion;
compare at least the identification code portion of the received communication packet to a table of identifiers stored in the audio-enabled wireless device;
based on the comparison of the identification code portion of the received communication packet matching an entry in the table of identifiers stored in the audio-enabled wireless device, determine to relay the communication packet to another audio-enabled wireless device; and
relay the communication packet to the other audio-enabled wireless device.

Abstract
Various embodiments of wireless ambient sensor unit are presented. The sensor unit may include a wireless transceiver configured to transmit sensor data and to receive instructions. The sensor unit may include a sensor configured to measure an ambient condition. The sensor unit may include a controller in communication with the wireless transceiver and the sensor. The controller may be configured to compare data measured about the ambient condition to a stored threshold while the wireless ambient sensor unit is functioning in a low-power mode. The controller may be configured to exit the low-power mode in response to the comparison of the data with the stored threshold. The controller may be configured to cause the data measured about the ambient condition to be transmitted by the wireless transceiver as one or more messages in response to the comparison to the stored threshold.
