1. A device comprising:
an outer housing comprising a first leg and a second leg which are perpendicular with respect to one another and meet at an intersection to define an L-shape;
a power supply;
a radio communication device;
a first thermal sensor residing within the first leg;
a first conductor coupled with the first thermal sensor and extending along a first longitudinal axis through the outer housing;
a second thermal sensor residing within the second leg and being spaced from the first thermal sensor;
a second conductor coupled with the second thermal sensor and extending along a second longitudinal axis through the outer housing, wherein the first and second longitudinal axes intersect one another perpendicularly; and
a controller disposed within the outer housing;
wherein each of the power supply, the radio communication device, the first thermal sensor, and the second thermal sensor are electrically coupled with the controller and disposed within the outer housing.
