1. A sensor assembly configured for attachment with an object that is rotated in use, the sensor assembly comprising:
a housing comprising an outer surface and an internal cavity that is enclosed within the housing;
an electrical sensor device that is disposed within the internal cavity and attached therein to prevent movement of the device within the internal cavity, wherein the internal cavity comprises an unfilled open space above or below the electrical sensor device in the housing, wherein the electrical sensor device is configured to sense, transmit and/or receive information regarding surrounding conditions, orientation and/or location when the sensor assembly is attached with the object and the object is rotated in use; and
a retaining member that is configured to accommodate attachment of the housing therewith, wherein the retaining member has an outside surface configured for attachment to rotate with the object when the object is rotated in use.
