Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
initiating a start count command via a user interface n a user device;
sending the start count command from a first processing device of a server node to a second processing device of a first scanner node via long-range low-power wide area network connection operating via a first network interface, a command including a first set of metadata and content, wherein:
the server node comprises a first microcontroller which further comprises the first processing device and a first memory device;
the first scanner node comprises a second microcontroller which further comprises the second processing device and a second memory device;

storing, using the second processing device, the metadata of the start count command on the second memory device of the first node;
determining, using the second processing device, whether the metadata of the start count command matches stored metadata on the second memory device;
queueing, using the second processing device, the start count command stored on the second memory device; and
sending the start count command from the second processing device of the first server node to a third processing device of a second scanner node via long-range low-power wide area network connection operating via a second network interface, the start count command including a second set of metadata and content, wherein:
the second scanner node comprises a third microcontroller which further comprises the third processing device and a third memory device;

storing, using the third processing device, the metadata of the start count command on the third memory device of the second node;
determining, using the third processing device, whether the metadata of the start count command matches stored metadata on the third memory device;
queueing, using the third processing device, the start count command stored on the second memory device;
sending the start count command from the third processing device of the second server node to a fourth processing device of a third scanner node via long-range low-power wide area network connection operating via a third network interface, the start count command including a third set of metadata and content, wherein:
the third scanner node comprises a fourth microcontroller which further comprises the fourth processing device and a fourth memory device;

storing, using the fourth processing device, the metadata of the start count command on the fourth memory device of the third node; and
determining, using the fourth processing device, whether the metadata of the start count command matches stored metadata on the fourth memory device.
