Abstract
An apparatus for obtaining sensory data is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, a battery displaced within the housing, and circuitry displaced at least partially within the housing, the circuitry including an integrated circuit, an accelerometer, and a communications interface. The housing is formed from one or more of hardened plastic, metal, glass or composite. The circuitry further includes a vibration sensor. The communication interface enables communications with external network devices or a cloud server. The circuitry includes logic to perform operations including: receiving signals from one or more network devices; and parsing a first signal to identify (i) a unique identifier of a first network device of the one or more network devices, wherein the first network device transmitted the first signal, and (ii) determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of the first signal.
