Wireless sensor device and system thereof for light bulb diagnostics using a light sensor of an adhesive tape platform

1. A method of detecting a condition of a light source comprising:

adhering an adhesive tape platform in a vicinity of the light source;

detecting light emitted from the light source that is incident to a light sensor of the adhesive tape platform;

in response to the detecting light, determining that the light source is functioning correctly; and

transmitting a report indicating that the light source is functioning to another node of an associated Internet of Things (IOT) system.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting a low level of light incident at the light sensor, determining that the light source is malfunctioning; and

transmitting a report indicating that the light source is malfunctioning to the other node of the associated IOT system.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the low level of light corresponds to an intensity of light detected incident at the light sensor being below a threshold intensity.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring a spectrum of wavelengths for light incident at the light sensor;

based on the measured spectrum of wavelengths, determining that a wavelength shift has occurred in the light incident at the light sensor;

in response to determining the wavelength shift has occurred, determining that the light source has malfunctioned or degraded.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape platform reports light sensor data to one or more wireless nodes of the associated IOT system.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the light sensor data includes one or more of an intensity of light, wavelength of light, and a spectrum of wavelengths of detected light.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the light source is a lightbulb.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape platform is adhered to an interior of a light fixture associated with the lightbulb, and the light sensor is facing the lightbulb.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the light from the light source is in response to receiving a report that an electrical current or voltage associated with the light source deviates from an expected value.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the light source is one or more of a light bulb, a light emitting diode (LED), a lamp, a lantern, a burner, a fire, an organic LED (OLED), and a laser.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape platform is adhered to an interposer of an LED light source.

12. A method of detecting a condition of an equipment asset comprising:

adhering an adhesive tape platform to a portion of the equipment asset; and

based on detecting light from an indicator light of the equipment asset at a light sensor of the adhesive tape platform, determining that the equipment asset is malfunctioning.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising reporting the condition of the equipment asset to a wireless node of an associated wireless Internet of Things (IOT) system using a first wireless communication system of the adhesive tape platform.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting a wavelength of light from an indicator light of the equipment asset incident at the light sensor;

based on the detected wavelength of light, determining a condition of the equipment asset.
