Abstract
This disclosure describes examples of condition monitoring systems with node devices that can adjust the power level of a radio. Embodiments of the node device can dynamically vary the power level for the radio in response to communication with other node devices. In one example, the node devices measure the strength of a signal received from the other node devices. The node devices can, in response to this value, vary the power level of the radio to optimize power consumption and extend the battery life for the node device.
