Abstract: A sensor device can be mounted on a pivotable door of a domestic refrigeration appliance. The sensor device includes an inertial sensor for supplying a motion signal as well as a processing device configured to determine a pivoting angle of the pivotable door on the basis of the motion signal and to output a signal when the pivoting angle has reached a predetermined threshold value. A household refrigeration appliance having a sensor device is also provided.

Abstract: A communications module for a household device includes a sensor device that is configured to be attached in the region of a device housing of the household device, a wireless data interface and a processor. The sensor device is configured to scan an emission signal, penetrating outwards through the device housing, of a component of the household device carrying out the operating process of the household device. The processor is configured to determine an operating state of the household device based on measurement values of the sensor device and to provide same by means of the data interface. In addition, the communications module can be used optionally in different types of household devices.

Abstract: A method connects a communication module to a network-based service. The method includes providing first access data for establishing a data connection between the communication module and a network component, and providing second access data for the use of a service that can be accessed via the network component. The first and second access data are transmitted to the communication module and a message from the communication module is transmitted to the service via the network component. The transmission of the access data to the communication module is executed as a tone sequence.
