18. A method of determining an alternative event condition, the method comprising:
receiving, via a transceiver of a data collection device, a first data communication from a first node of one or more nodes in communication with the data collection device over a network, the one or more nodes associated with one or more sensors, the first data communication including a first data value reported from one or more first sensors of the one or more sensors;
determining, by a processor of the data collection device, a first event condition based at least in part on the first data value being beyond a threshold set for data coming from the one or more sensors;
receiving, via the transceiver, additional data communications from one or more second nodes of the one or more nodes, the additional data communications including additional data values reported from one or more second sensors of the one or more sensors;
aggregating, by the processor, the first data value and the additional data values, to thereby produce aggregated data values;
determining, by the processor, based at least in part on the aggregated data values and a known relationship between the one or more first sensors and the one or more second sensors, that the determination of the first event condition is incorrect;
determining, by the processor, a second event condition, to replace the first event condition, based at least in part on the first data value and the additional data values being beyond the threshold set for data coming from the one or more sensors, to thereby produce a determination of the second event condition; and
performing, by the processor, one or more actions in response to the determination of the second event condition.
