An apparatus including an electronic component, a sensing element, a power supply element, and logic. The sensing element is coupled to the electronic component. The sensing element is configured to sense an occurrence of an event and to transmit a data signal indicative of the occurrence. The power supply element is configured to receive energy from the sensing element and to power the electronic component with electrical energy. The electrical energy is derived from the energy received from the sensing element. The logic is configured to receive the data signal from the sensing element and to control operation of a component of the system based on a value of the data signal. |
