Occupancy Sensors: Enhance Your Home Automation System

We all know what motion detectors do; however, as part of a home automation system, occupancy sensors offer even more functionality. These advanced devices can observe and detect people in the environment through microphones and heat detectors. They are smart enough to pick up the faintest whisper or even the sound of a page turning from someone reading the latest fashion magazine. With occupancy sensors, not only can lights be controlled, but fans, vents, room controls, TVs, and many other devices can be activated as well. 

Ideal locations for these energy saving solutions are closets, kitchens, and bathrooms in your home or business. When someone enters these spaces, the sensor can be programmed to turn on one or multiple lights, an exhaust vent, heater, or lamp, even dimming lights to a preferred level—perfect for late-night kitchen visits. Once the room is no longer occupied, the devices can turn themselves off automatically! This functionality is a fantastic way to enhance your energy saving solutions while ensuring convenience.
