Abstract
Systems and methods of location based awareness of life safety sensors are provided. Some methods can include detecting an ambient emergency condition, and responsive to detecting the ambient emergency condition, transmitting a wireless beacon signal, wherein a range into which the wireless beacon signal is transmitted is limited, and wherein a signal strength of the wireless beacon signal progressively decreases from a first part of the range, adjacent a source of the wireless beacon signal, to a second part of the range, displaced from the source of the wireless beacon signal. Additionally or alternatively, some methods can include receiving a wireless beacon message from a sensor device, determining the signal strength of the wireless beacon message, and based on the signal strength of the wireless beacon message, determining the range of the sensor device.
