Devices In accordance with various embodiments can be operated in various other configurations. For instance, in one example, the device can be configured to stay in sleep mode until there is a movement of the package detected by analyzing the accelerometer sensor data. Once the movement is detected the package can be tracked and traced continuously for a certain amount of time, or indefinitely until it runs out of battery power depending on the setup by the end user. This feature could allow the device to operate longer and save on its battery power. In another example, the device can be configured to be in sleep mode and only wake up once there is a change detected by the ambient light sensor. Such as package being opened 412, or any other scenario where the ambient light sensor can change due to light 414 exposures. In a further example, the device is configured to continuously track temperature or humidity and it can bet setup to send an alert once a particular threshold is reached, enabling the safe and efficient transportation of items that are sensitive to temperature or humidity. In another example, the device is configured to monitor how the package has been handled by using the accelerometer sensor. For example, if a fragile package is thrown, tossed or moved in an undesired fashion during shipment, this data can be stored and reported back to the cloud. This can also apply for the orientation of the shipment as there are shipments that require particular orientation during transportation, such as refrigerators, stoves, and other appliances. The device can be attached inside the box used to transport these items and the orientation can be tracked and recorded in real-time.
