Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising:
receiving at a first time, at a first device, first data associated with a battery powered device, wherein the first data includes a device identifier that identifies the battery powered device and a protocol identifier that identifies first data fields included within the first data;
decoding the first data to identify at least one of the first data fields based, at least in part, on the protocol identifier;
receiving at a second time, at a second device, second data associated with the battery powered device, wherein the second data includes the device identifier and a second protocol identifier that identifies second data fields that are included in the second data, wherein the second data fields are a subset of the first data fields;
decoding the second data to identify at least one of the second data fields based, at least in part, on the second protocol identifier; and
transmitting third data, the third data indicating that the first device has received the first data.
