Network management systems and methods are provided. A system is provided that includes an event database that provides a mapping of multimodal sensor data to events of devices coupled to a network, such as operational or behavioral events. A network management engine obtains a set of multimodal sensor data relating to a device, which may include sensor measurement or output data relating to each of multiple device operation or behavior parameters. The engine determines, utilizing the mapping, a match of the set of multimodal sensor data to a specific event associated with the device. Based at least in part on the determined match, the engine causes generation or updating of event data associated with the specific event, the data being accessible by network management software of the network management system.

A signal guide for a sensor device is disclosed herein. The signal guide can include a base having a first proximal aperture, where the first proximal aperture has a first cross-sectional profile, where the first proximal aperture is configured to be disposed proximate to a first transceiver element of the sensor device. The signal guide can also include a body disposed adjacent to the base, wherein the body comprises a first main channel that adjoins the first proximal aperture. The signal guide can further include a distal end disposed adjacent to the body opposite the base, where the distal end includes a first distal aperture that adjoins the first main channel, where the first distal aperture has a second cross-sectional profile, where the first distal aperture is configured to be disposed proximate to an ambient environment.

A system, method and apparatus for augmenting a building control system domain. A sensor network platform can be configured to collect data based on measurements from sensors outside of a legacy building control system domain, and to present information based on the collected data to a known interface supported by the legacy building control system. In one embodiment, the collected data can undergo customized processing by an operation center outside of the legacy building control system domain.

A system includes one or more systems, a controller and a server. The one or more systems including one or more heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, refrigeration systems, or building automation systems. The controller is communicatively coupled to the one or more systems. The server is communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller receives telemetry data associated with the operation of the one or more systems. The received telemetry data includes data associated with individual components of the one or more systems. The controller also determines a subset of the telemetry data that has changed by comparing the received telemetry data to previous telemetry data. The controller also communicates to the server only the subset of the telemetry data that has changed.

A system may include one or more sensor devices and a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may be configured to receive an indication of a sensor event from a sensor device via an interface port; perform a table lookup in a configuration table based on the interface port; identify sensor data location in the sensor device based on the table lookup; read data at the identified sensor data location; encapsulate the read data into a data unit; and transmit the data unit over a wireless connection to a sensor management system.

A wireless sensor network at a monitored location can be configured to generate sensor channel(s) of data to assess operational conditions at the monitored location. Inputs based on the sensor channel(s) of data are provided to a host system for analysis of a demand to one or more resources at the monitored location. Response messages can be generated based on the demand analysis and transmitted to actuator(s) at the monitored location to effect an adjustment to the operational conditions.

A monitoring and response system is provided for monitoring and responding to environmental conditions at one or more sites. The monitoring system includes a plurality of base units, each base unit including at least a processor and a plurality of sensors configured to monitor environmental conditions at the site(s). A central controller is in communication with the base processors at the plurality of base units and is configured to receive and process sensor information from the base units. Base units are configured to be modular and contain customizable, swappable combinations of sensors, sensor arrays, and/or other connected peripherals, and are further configured to be mountable and/or attachable to a wide variety of surfaces and objects disposed around a site such as a construction site. The system further comprises a backend, analytic system for making predictions, taking action, and generating reports responsive to the information received from the base units.

Utility covers and utility cover assemblies for use with automated metering infrastructure equipment are provided. The utility cover includes a body having one or more windows that permit electromagnetic energy to pass through the body with limited or no attenuation. One or more plugs made of a material substantially transparent to electromagnetic energy seals the one or more windows to limit or prevent moisture to pass through the one or more windows.

A universal sensor interface enables selective coupling of one or more sensor module units to a wireless node. Each sensor module unit can contain a suite of sensors selected for a particular sensor application at a monitored location. Reconfiguration of the wireless sensor network can occur seamlessly through the plug-and-play connectivity between the sensor module units and the wireless node.

A generating module generates a signal including a set pattern that includes a specific pattern by varying a physical quantity. A sensing module including a sensor transmits to a server, pattern detection information generated in response to the sensor detecting the specific pattern and sensor identification information identifying the sensor that has detected the specific pattern. The server stores association information associating the sensor identification information received from the sensing module that has transmitted the pattern detection information with installation target information communicated from the generating module that has generated the specific pattern.
