Abstract
A system for collecting building environmental sensor data includes a first data collection device having a first transceiver that is configured to receive data from proximate building environmental sensors and a second transceiver that is configured to communicate with an external service. The device will, upon detecting that the first transceiver is within a receiving range of a first building environmental sensor, communicatively connect with the first building environmental sensor to receive a data stream that comprises sensor data captured by the first building environmental sensor. The device will continue to receive the data stream until the first transceiver either receives all of the sensor data or moves out of the receiving range. The device will repeat this process for additional building environmental sensors. The device will use its second transceiver to transfer the sensor data to the external service.
