1. A distributed wireless sensing device comprising:

  • at least one input sensor,at least one output transducer configured to indicate receipt of a trigger by the sensing device,a wireless communication module configured to send and receive data, anda processor configured to receive a local control parameter from the at least one input sensor or a remote control parameter from a remote module communicating with the processor via the wireless communication module, andwherein the processor is further configured to allow selection of one of a plurality of operational configurations, wherein the selection of one of a plurality of operational configurations allows selection of whether, upon receipt of a trigger by the sensing device, to(i) indicate the receipt of the trigger with the at least one output transducer;

    (ii) send data via the wireless communication module;

    or(iii) perform both (i) and (ii); and

    whereinthe at least one input sensor includes a microphone, an accelerometer, a button and/or a rotary encoder and/or the at least one output transducer includes a speaker, vibrating motor, a multi coloured light, a single LED, a OLED display and/or an E-lnk display and/or the device further comprises a near field communication module for pairing; and

    wherein the distributed wireless device further comprisestwo disks rotatable about a housing an engaged with the rotary encoder to sense the turning of the device, wherein the device is configured to monitor triggers from a first direction when mounted to a surface with a first of the two disks, and configured to monitor triggers from a second direction when mounted to a surface with a second of the two disks.
