Abstract:
1. A network sensor assembly operable to be mounted on a surface and sense environmental conditions at the surface, comprising: a flexible body operable to be folded along a central foldline, wherein the foldline separates the flexible body into a first panel and a second panel; a plurality of mounting tabs operable to secure the network sensor assembly to the surface; a plurality of sensor tabs located along the central foldline; a plurality of addressable sensors operable to sense environmental conditions, wherein the addressable sensors are positioned proximate to sensor tabs; a memory device communicatively operable to store configuration information associated with the plurality of addressable sensors; and a common bus communicatively coupled to the plurality of addressable sensors and the memory device, wherein the common bus is operable to communicatively couple the network sensor assembly to a network node to distribute data associated with the sensed environmental conditions in a network environment.
