1. A system for enabling wireless communication with a wired sensor, the system comprising:
- a power source for supplying continuous power to an electrical load device, operation of the electrical load device controlled by a controller; and
a sensor interface communicatively coupled to a wired sensor, wherein the sensor interface;
receives information indicating an environmental condition detected by the wired sensor, andwirelessly transmits the information received from the wired sensor to the controller, wherein the controller controls operation of the electrical load device based on the information wirelessly transmitted from the sensor interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling communication with a wired sensor are provided. A wired sensor may be adapted for wireless communication using a sensor interface. A sensor interface is communicatively coupled with a wired sensor that provides information about a detected environmental condition. The sensor interface wirelessly transmits information received from the wired sensor to a controller that may control an electrical load based on the wirelessly transmitted information.
