MULTI-SENSOR nABSTRACT nVarious implementations relate generally to a multi-sensor device. Some implementations more nparticularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. nSome implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientationnindependent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor ndevices described herein also include one or more additional sensors. For example, some nimplementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can ninclude one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for nexample, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. nAdditionally or alternatively, some implementations can include a temperature sensor nconfigured to sense an interior temperature within the multi-sensor device. Particular nimplementations provide, characterize, or enable a compact form factor. Particular nimplementations provide, characterize, or enable a multi-sensor device requiring little or no nwiring, and in some such instances, little or no invasion, perforation or reconstruction of a nbuilding or other structure on which the multi-sensor device is mounted. |
