Abstract: A lighting structure having a climate sensor is disclosed. In one example, a lighting structure includes at least one light source and at least one climate sensor. Each climate sensor is configured to determine at least one ambient climate characteristic value that quantifies an ambient climate characteristic at a location distant from the lighting structure. For example, an ambient climate characteristic may be an ambient temperature of a distant object in the same room as the lighting structure. The lighting structure also includes a controller in communication with the at least one climate sensor. The controller is configured to receive the at least one ambient climate characteristic value from the at least one climate sensor. The controller is further configured to transmit information based on the at least one ambient climate characteristic value to a network.

Abstract: A network-connected access point is disclosed having a network access transceiver configured to provide access to a network for computing devices in communication therewith. The network access point also comprises one or more environmental sensors each configured to determine at least one environmental characteristic value that quantifies an environmental characteristic at a location distant from the network access point. Without limitation, environmental characteristics include temperature, humidity, sound, light, motion, and air quality, The network access point further comprises a sensor controller in communication with the at least one environmental sensor. The sensor controller may be separate from the network access transceiver, or may be part of the same component. The sensor controller is configured to receive the at least one environmental characteristic value from the at least one environmental sensor, and transmit information based on the at least one environmental characteristic value to a network.

Abstract: A network-connected semi-fixed location telephone is disclosed having a network access transceiver configured to provide access to a network for computing devices in communication therewith. The network-connected semi-fixed location telephone also comprises one or more environmental sensors each configured to determine at least one environmental characteristic value that quantifies an environmental characteristic at a location outside the network-connected semi-fixed location telephone. Without limitation, environmental characteristics include temperature, humidity, sound, light, motion, and air quality, The network-connected semi-fixed location telephone further comprises a sensor controller in communication with the at least one environmental sensor. The sensor controller may be separate from the network access transceiver or may be part of the same component. The sensor controller is configured to receive the at least one environmental characteristic value from the at least one environmental sensor, and transmit information based on the at least one environmental characteristic value to a network.
