A separator assembly for separating fat, oil, and grease from effluent includes a container for receiving and holding effluent water containing oil, grease and solid waste to be removed from the effluent water and a communications module having a processor, memory and transmitter at the facility site to communicate over cellular or WiFi signals with a remote station. The separator may include a skimmer to skim F.O.G. from the effluent water held in the container or be of a grease trap mode collecting F.O.G. for subsequent removal.

A sensing device includes a power supply, a sensing element, a communication element, a controller and a microprocessor. The controller is configured to control the sensing element and the communication element. The microprocessor is configured to be activated from the sleep state periodically according to a time period. The microprocessor is configured to control the power supply to supply power to the controller, the sensing element and the communication element, such that the sensing element senses the environment to acquire a plurality of sensing values. After the communication element transmits the sensing values to a server, the microprocessor controls the power supply to stop supplying power to the controller, the sensing element and the communication element, and also the microprocessor enters the sleep state.

A method for controlling a motor-vehicle electronic control unit with a view to acquiring the measurement of a physical quantity using a digital sensor connected to the electronic control unit, in which method the sensor sends measurement digital data with a send period and the electronic control unit processes these measurement data with a processing period, the send period being shorter than the processing period. At the end of each processing period, the average value of the measured physical quantity is determined over an interval of N preceding processing periods.
