1. A method for activating a payload in response to sensing a first physical phenomenon and for over-the-air wireless communication with a device, for use with a first module that comprises a first enclosure that houses a sensor, a second module that comprises a second enclosure that houses a first payload, and a third module that comprises a third enclosure that houses a firmware and a processor, the method comprising:
producing, by the sensor, an output signal responsive to the first physical phenomenon;
affecting, by the first payload a second physical phenomenon responsive to a first payload activation signal;
executing, by the processor, the firmware;
receiving, by the processor, the sensor output signal from the first module;
transmitting, by the processor, the first payload activation signal to the second module; and
transmitting, by a wireless transmitter via an antenna a wireless signal,
wherein the third module is mechanically attachable to the first module and to the second module, and
wherein upon electrically connecting the first and third modules and electrically connecting the second and third modules, activating, by the processor, the first payload in response to the sensing of the first physical phenomenon.
