A node device arranged to monitor, measure and/or control an environment in which it is situated, and methods therewith are provided. The node device is arranged to function as a node in a network, and is configurable for a plurality of purposes via a user interface device connected to the node device via the network, such that stimuli to be recognised by the node device can be specified. The device has a receiver arranged to receive signals from one or more other devices in the network; a plurality of sensors arranged to generate output signals, so that a user specifies which one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors are to be used for the one or more purposes for which the node device has been configured; processing circuitry arranged to receive the output signals from the plurality of sensors and signals received by the receiver and to generate a control signal; and an emitter connected to the processing circuitry for receiving the control signal and emitting a signal for reception by one or more receivers in one or more of the other devices in the network or to generate a user perceptible output from the control signal. |
