1. A fire suppression monitoring system, comprising:
a temperature sensor coupled with at least one of a pipe of a fire suppression system and a valve of the fire suppression system, the temperature sensor to transmit a temperature signal comprising an indication of a temperature of the at least one of the pipe and the valve, the fire suppression system comprising one or more sprinklers coupled with the at least one of the pipe and the valve; and
one or more processors coupled with a memory device and configured to:
retrieve the temperature from the temperature signal to store, in the memory device, a plurality of values, over a period of time, of the temperature of the at least one of the pipe or the valve;
increase a frequency of a rate of transmission, of an output signal representative of the plurality of values, based on one or more criteria, the one or more criteria comprising at least one of type of piping of the fire suppression system, the temperature, and an ambient temperature outside the at least one of the pipe and the valve; and
cause transmission, according to the rate of transmission, over a wireless communication connection between the one or more processors and a remote device, of the output signal as a batch transmission comprising the plurality of values.
