A wireless sensor alert system capable of detecting an abnormal condition, such as one of smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, temperature deviation, humidity, air quality, and radon levels. The system provides remote notifications and status information regarding the monitored information in the environment of a detector. The alert system additionally communicates over communications networks to provide user and authorized third party interactivity, as well as real-time sensor network data based upon customizable triggering events and conditions.

A detection device for monitoring an area includes a housing and at least one sensor configured to measure an amount of at least one combustion gas. A controller is operably coupled to the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to determine if a combustion event is present within the area in response to the amount of the at least one combustion gas measured by the at least one sensor and initiate an alarm in response to determining that the combustion event is present within the area.

The invention relates to a method for communication in a LoRaWAN mesh gateway network, wherein the LoRaWAN mesh gateway network has a plurality of end devices, a plurality of gateways and a network server. Here, one of the gateways performs server functions of the communication method that are intended for the network server (NS) according to the LoRaWAN protocol.

An internal combustion engine-based system including an engine, a shutdown circuit coupled to the engine to shut down the engine, a controller in communication with the shutdown circuit, and a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor in communication with the controller. The controller communicates with the shutdown circuit to shut down the engine at a predetermined CO threshold concentration when the CO sensor provides the controller with signals that are representative of a CO level proximate the engine that indicate a trend of building CO levels over a set time interval.

An optical detector device may receive a spectroscopic measurement from a multispectral sensor. The optical detector device may determine, based on the spectroscopic measurement, a particulate size of a particulate. The optical detector device may determine, based on the spectroscopic measurement, an identification of the particulate. The optical detector device may determine, based on the particulate size and the identification of the particulate, that an alert condition is satisfied. The optical detector device may trigger an alert based on determining that the alert condition is satisfied.

Embodiments herein relate to hearing assistance devices that can control other devices based on hearing assistance device events and/or status. In an embodiment, a hearing assistance system includes a hearing assistance device that can include a control circuit, a microphone in electrical communication with the control circuit, an electroacoustic transducer for generating sound in electrical communication with the control circuit, and a power supply circuit. The hearing assistance device can be configured to initiate sending a hearing accommodative command to a separate controllable device upon occurrence of a hearing assistance device event. The hearing assistance device event can be raised by detection of at least one of the hearing assistance device not being worn by the subject, the hearing assistance device in a not-in-use operating state, the hearing assistance device entering a recharging mode, and the hearing assistance device entering a shut-down sequence. Other embodiments are also included herein.
