1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a device, sensor measurements from an environmental sensor of an access point;
obtaining, by the device, traffic telemetry data regarding network traffic handled by the access point that is indicative of a type or an activity of clients associated to the access point, wherein the type comprises a device type of a given client and the activity comprises an application or process executing on the given client;
generating, by the device and based on the sensor measurements and the traffic telemetry data, a sampling configuration of the environmental sensor of the access point, wherein the sampling configuration controls transitions among power states of the access point; and
causing, by the device, the access point to collect additional sensor measurements from its environmental sensor according to the sampling configuration.
