Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a sensing device. The sensing device includes a sensor, a memory, a processor, and two radio units. A first radio unit of the two radio units is configured for bidirectional communication with an external device using a first radio communication protocol. The bidirectional communication comprises receiving configuration data from the external device via a first radio signal from the external device. The second radio unit of the two radio units is configured for unidirectional communication with the external device using a second radio communication protocol. The unidirectional communication comprises the second radio unit transmitting a second radio signal to the external device. The second radio signal communicates data including one or more measurements obtained by the sensor.
