1. A system for monitoring an ambient temperature in a volume using a lighting based sensor, comprising:

  • a light;

    a temperature sensor positioned in, on, or attached to the light;

    a computer-readable medium encoded with correction factors associated with a plurality of statuses of the light;

    a data processor configured to;

    determine, via a light status determination module, a status of the light;

    access a correction factor from the computer-readable medium based on the status of the light;

    receive a measured temperature via the temperature sensor located in a first volume;

    transform the measured temperature based on the correction factor; and

    a wireless transmitter configured to transmit the transformed temperature from the light to a thermostat in a second volume, separate from the first volume.
