Xiaomi has introduced a new sensor on its Youpin crowdfunding platform known as the “Xiaomi People’s Presence Sensor,” designed to accurately detect human presence without the need for installation or direct power supply. The official launch date for this sensor is May 15th, and it will be priced starting at 119 yuan.
Xiaomi People Presence Sensor Specifications
One notable feature that sets this sensor apart from Xiaomi’s previous model, the “Mijia Human Body Sensor 2S,” is the incorporation of a “low-power millimeter wave radar.” This technology enables a wider detection angle of 130 degrees and can detect human presence dynamically within a 6-meter range, with static detection capabilities up to 4 meters.
Advanced Features and Connectivity
The sensor is promoted as having the capability to accurately sense people even when they are stationary, as long as there is consistent lighting in the vicinity. Powered by a single CR2450 button battery, Xiaomi asserts that the sensor can operate for up to 3 years. It is equipped with built-in magnets for easy attachment to furniture and includes an adhesive base for flexible installation options.
Smart Home Integration and Applications
By connecting the sensor to the Mijia App, users can monitor 24-hour light intensity trends and establish smart connections with other compatible devices. This sensor can be particularly advantageous for smart home automation purposes. For example, users can configure lights to automatically illuminate when the sensor detects movement, offering a convenient and hands-free experience.
Moreover, users can program lights to switch off when the sensor no longer detects any presence, contributing to energy efficiency. Additionally, the sensor can collaborate with a smart thermostat to regulate temperature settings based on occupancy, ensuring both comfort and energy conservation.
If you are intrigued by the potential utility of this sensor in enhancing your living space, it presents a promising solution for integrating smart technologies seamlessly into your daily routines and enhancing overall convenience.
