1. A wireless sensor device, comprising:
- a processor connected to a wireless transmitter and at least one sensor that senses at least one environmental condition, the processor having two or more states;
a power source connected to power the processor and the wireless transmitter;
at least one internal control element for sensing one or more predetermined conditions, the internal control element switching the processor between states based on the occurrence of at least one predetermined condition, the at least one predetermined condition being unrelated to the at least one environmental condition sensed by the at least one sensor;
a molded body enclosing at least the processor, the wireless transmitter, and the internal control sensor such that the internal control sensor is physically isolated within the molded body; and
wherein the at least one predetermined condition comprises a gesture, and the gesture comprises a combination of two or more events selected from a group consisting of orientation, motion, shock and vibration events applied to the at least one internal control element.

Abstract
A wireless sensor device includes a processor connected to a wireless transmitter and at least one sensor, and a power source connected to power the processor and the wireless transmitter. The processor has two or more states. An internal control element senses at least one predetermined condition. The internal control element switches the processor between states based on the occurrence of at least one predetermined condition. A molded body encloses at least the processor, the wireless transmitter, and the internal control sensor. The internal control sensor is physically isolated within the molded body.

17. A method of operating a wireless sensor device, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a wireless sensor device, comprising; a processor, a wireless transmitter, and at least one internal control sensor enclosed in a molded body, the processor being connected to the wireless transmitter, a power source, the internal control element, and at least one sensor that senses at least one environmental condition, the processor having two or more states and the internal control sensor being physically isolated within the molded body; configuring the internal control element to switch the processor between states upon the occurrence of at least one predetermined condition, the at least one predetermined condition being unrelated to the at least one environmental condition sensed by the at least one sensor; applying at least one predetermined condition to the internal control element; and wherein the at least one predetermined condition comprises a gesture, and the gesture comprises a combination of two or more events selected from a group consisting of orientation, motion, shock and vibration events applied to the at least one internal control element. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
