Abstract: A method includes bringing a sensor device proximate to a computing device. The sensor device includes one or more sensors for measuring one or more properties of a building material within which the sensor device can be embedded. The method includes establishing a first wireless communication channel between the sensor device and the computing device and transmitting an activation signal over the first wireless communication channel to power “ON” the sensor device. The sensor device begins to transmit one or more beacon signals upon powering “ON.” The computing device receives the one or more beacon signals and establishes a second wireless communication channel between the sensor device and the computing device that is different from the first. The method includes wirelessly receiving unique sensor device identification information, via the computing device, over the second wireless communications channel before the sensor device is embedded into the building material.
