1. A residential modular sensor device comprising:
a base that attaches to a wall in a living space;
a power unit coupled to a first side of the base, wherein the power unit receives high-voltage power from a power source and outputs low-voltage power, wherein the high-voltage power is alternating current (AC) power, wherein the low-voltage power is direct current (DC) power, and wherein the power unit includes one or more devices that control conditions in an environment of the living space; and
a control module removably coupled to a second side of the base, wherein the power unit provides low-voltage power to the control module, wherein AC power in the power unit is isolated from the control module, wherein the control module receiving the low-voltage power from the power unit is hot-swappable so that the control module is physically separable away from the power unit, and wherein the control module performs one or more predetermined control functions.
