Environmental sensor network
First Claim
1. An environmental sensor network comprising:
- a first environmental sensor unit includinga sensor adapted to measure a condition anda transmitter adapted to operate in an “
activation”
mode in which the transmitter transmits a predefined sequence and a first sensor ID and a “
data”
mode in which the transmitter transmits data based on the measurement;
a second environmental sensor unit includinga sensor adapted to measure a condition anda transmitter adapted to operate in an “
activation”
mode in which the transmitter transmits a predefined sequence and a second sensor ID and a “
data”
mode in which the transmitter transmits data based on the measurement; and
a central display unit includinga receiver adapted to receive a transmission from the first environmental sensor and to receive a transmission from the second environmental sensor,a memory device, anda processor adapted to selectively operate in an “
add”
mode in which the processor records the presence of the first environment sensor unit in the memory device upon the receipt of the predefined sequence and the first sensor ID and records the presence of the second environment sensor unit in the memory device upon the receipt of the predefined sequence and the second sensor ID, and a “
display”
mode in which the processor outputs information based on the measurement.

Abstract
A environmental sensor network having at least two environmental sensor units and a central display unit. Each sensor unit includes a sensor adapted to measure a condition and a transmitter adapted to operate in an “activation” mode in which the transmitter transmits a predefined sequence and a sensor ID and a “data” mode in which the transmitter transmits data based on the measurement. The central display unit includes a receiver adapted to receive a transmission from the two environmental sensors, a memory device, and a processor adapted to selectively operate in an “add” mode in which the processor records the presence of an environment sensor unit in the memory device upon the receipt of the predefined sequence and the sensor ID, and a “display” mode in which the processor outputs information based on the measurement.
