Efficient Human Presence Sensing
A new human presence sensor by Acara, specifically the FP1E, offers an effective solution for automating lighting in homes. It accurately detects when a person enters or leaves a room, ensuring lights turn on and off accordingly. Unlike traditional motion sensors, which may deactivate if a person remains still, the FP1E provides a more reliable presence detection, even distinguishing between humans and pets like dogs or cats. This technology enables users to enjoy consistent lighting without the frustration of lights turning off unexpectedly.
