Abstract
A fob device for integrating a one or more monitoring and control devices is provided. The fob device includes a plurality of input modules. The input modules are configured to connect with one of a plurality of monitoring or control devices. The plurality of monitoring and control devices are devices utilizing at least two distinct communication protocols. The fob also has at least one output module that may connect to a remote computing device, and an electronic control unit. The fob device may receive data from the monitoring and control devices communicatively coupled to the fob device and associate the received data with the monitoring or control device from which it was received. The fob outputs the received data that is associated with one of the communicatively coupled monitoring or control devices.
