Abstract
Systems and methods are provided relating to a smart lightbulb that can comprise means to sense motion and means to wirelessly transmit and receive information. The smart lightbulb can include a radio frequency transceiver and a motion sensor having an antenna. The transceiver and motion sensor can be electrically coupled to a programmable processor. The transceiver can be oriented in a first plane and the antenna of the motion sensor can be oriented in a second plane different than the first plane. In some embodiments, an oscillator circuit can be provided in place of the motion sensor antenna. The oscillator circuit can be electrically coupled to the transceiver, the motion sensor, and communication circuitry. The programmable processor can be configured to direct the oscillator circuit to switch between electrically coupling the motion sensor to the radio frequency transceiver and electrically coupling the communication circuitry to the radio frequency transceiver.
