Abstract

The present disclosure describes techniques and apparatuses for low-energy sensor wireless connection. In some aspects, a data transfer session is initiated between a wireless interface of a sensor and an access point of a wireless network. The wireless interface is then associated with the access point to establish a wireless network connection in accordance with a setting usable to establish the wireless network connection, and without having to scan for the access point to discover the setting. The wireless interface is then configured to communicate with the access point over the wireless network connection using an IP address, and without obtaining the IP address during the data transfer session. Data corresponding to an environmental condition surrounding the sensor is then transmitted to the access point over the wireless network connection. After the data is transmitted to the access point, the wireless interface is deactivated to terminate the data transfer session.
