1. A system for detecting an opening of a package, the system comprising:
at least three sensors configured to be mounted to three different respective surfaces of the package, wherein each pair of the three different surfaces are not co-planar, wherein at least one of the sensors is mounted to an adjustable surface intended to open the package;
one or more processors configured to:
measure an orientation of each of the three different surfaces onto which the at least three respective sensors are mounted,
execute an open package test comprising:
determining a relative orientation in three dimensions between the at least one of the sensors mounted to the adjustable surface and different respective ones of the at least three sensors mounted to the three different respective surfaces, and
determining the package is open if the relative orientation changes from a threshold range indicating a closed state to a threshold range indicating an open state; and
one or more wireless communication circuits configured to wirelessly transmit an indication of the determination that the package is open.
