Claim:
1. A device, comprising: a sensor module having a first set of sensors and a first controller that receives first sensor data derived from first measurements by the first set of sensors, the first set of sensors enclosed in a housing and configured to monitor a state of physical conditions at a monitored location at which the device is installed; and a wireless node having a wireless transceiver that communicates with a gateway device at the monitored location via wireless communication, a second set of one or more sensors, and a second controller, the sensor module connected to the wireless node via a wired communication interface that enables a transfer of the first sensor data from the sensor module to the wireless node, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit the first sensor data received from the sensor module, and to transmit second sensor data derived from second measurements by the second set of one or more sensors in the wireless node, to the gateway device at the monitored location via wireless communication for delivery to a host system that is remote from the monitored location.
