a demodulator for receiving and transmitting data from the computing device;
a host controller processes the data received from the demodulator, the host controller further generates a signal associated with an identification number on the basis of processed data for marking each item; and
a wireless interface for sending the processed data received from the host controller to the computing device; and
one or more client units for interacting with each item of the environment, the item conducts electrical current and creates magnetic field the one or more client units comprising;
an electric field harvester for enhancing the electric field provided by the host, and the electric field harvester further stores DC power from the electric field;
a client controller for processing the signal received via the modulated electric field from the host controller, and further the client controller reads the identification number for each item received from the host controller; and
a sensing element for sensing a condition of the item based on the processed signal from the client controller, wherein the sensing element further comprising;
a flexible conductive foil wrapped around the item for conducting the induced electric field;
a ring electrode receives coupled power from the electric and magnetic field induced by the item and measures the induced magnetic field from the item; and
a floating electrode for floating the electric field received from the ring electrode to the groundwherein the client controller generates a feedback data associated with the sensed condition of the item by determining change in the electric field and magnetic field around the sensing element, and the client controller sends the feedback data to the computing device via the host controller.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system and a method for remotely interacting with an item in an electric field affected environment for communicating with a computing device. The system includes a host connected to an alternating current source of the environment, and one or more client units for interacting with each item of the environment. The host receives the command from the computing device, and further the host sends the command data via modulated electric field to the client unit. The client unit includes a sensing element to the sense the condition of the item, based on the command data received from the host, and the client unit further sends the feedback data to the computing device via the host controller. The client unit further includes acting elements for notifying the condition of the item.
