Abstract:
1. An environmental monitoring device, comprising: a housing having walls that define a cavity within the housing; flow vents in at least one of the walls configured to direct a fluid flow into and out of the cavity during operation of the environmental monitoring device; a sensor mechanism, within the cavity, configured to provide sensor data based on measurements of an environmental condition in an external environment that includes the environmental monitoring device, wherein the sensor mechanism includes a set of sensors; a baffle configured to direct the fluid flow over a selected sensor in the set of sensors, wherein an orientation of the baffle is configured to change in response to an external force applied to the baffle; and a processor, within the cavity and electrically coupled to the sensor mechanism, configured to process the sensor data, wherein the fluid flow is associated with operation of the processor; and wherein the processor is positioned relative to the sensor mechanism so that the fluid flow is directed over the sensor mechanism to facilitate the measurements.
