Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: monitoring, by a first transducer of a plurality of transducers, a first surrounding physical condition; receiving, at a processor, a transducer identification signal from the first transducer; identifying, by the processor, and responsive to the received identification signal, a transducer type of the first transducer; providing transducer requirements to the first transducer based on the identified transducer type, wherein the transducer requirements include a bias voltage; compensating an output of the processor based on the identified transducer type; receiving, at the processor, a transducer output signal indicative of the monitored first surrounding physical condition; detecting, by the processor, a quantity of transducers in the plurality of transducers; selecting a transmission mode based on the identified transducer type and on the detected quantity of transducers, wherein selecting the transmission mode includes selecting a different frequency based on the identified transducer type and on the detected quantity of transducers; and transmitting, via the selected transmission mode, a wireless signal indicative of the output signal.
