In this paper, we present a lightweight, embedded algorithm for autonomous edge event triggering in IoT sensor nodes suitable for operating in mesh networks. The device acquires local sensor data, performs deterministic FFT spectral feature extraction in firmware, and maintains a temporal spectral noise-floor baseline that absorbs non-stationary environmental excitations such as rain, wind, and mechanical vibration. While adaptive thresholds in IoT sensor nodes are often applied to manage communication load or stabilize long-term metrics, this work focuses on maintaining a time-evolving spectral noise floor to preserve event trigger reliability in dynamic environments. Our method targets trigger integrity under environmental non-stationary conditions, enabling calibration-free deployment of autonomous nodes; without shared noise models or cloud-side inference. Local decision authority preserves node responsiveness when connectivity is intermittent and mitigates security risks inherent in centralized remote-analysis systems. We validate the algorithm in a single node mesh sensor deployed in a dynamic outdoor environment using a radar-class proximity sensor as one example sensor modality. Results demonstrate substantial suppression of nuisance-induced triggers, reduced false-event traffic amplification in the mesh, bounded embedded execution, and reliable detection sensitivity to true spectral signatures.
