mmWave Presence Sensors
Advanced Presence Detection Without Motion
mmWave presence sensors use millimeter-wave radar to detect human presence, even when a person is sitting still or sleeping.
By measuring micro-movements like breathing, these sensors provide continuous occupancy awareness rather than simple motion detection. This makes them ideal for lighting automation, climate control, and energy efficiency scenarios where traditional motion sensors fall short.
True Presence Detection
mmWave sensors detect human presence even when occupants are stationary, eliminating false “empty room” assumptions.
Radar-Based Sensing Technology
Using millimeter-wave radar, these sensors track micro-movements without relying on cameras or visual monitoring.
Improved Automation Accuracy
Presence-aware detection enables smarter lighting, HVAC, and energy automations that respond accurately to room occupancy.
Privacy-Friendly Operation
mmWave sensors do not capture images or audio, making them suitable for privacy-conscious environments.
Smart Home Platform Integration
Many mmWave Presence Sensors integrate with popular smart home platforms to support advanced automation workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are mmWave presence sensors different from motion sensors?
They detect stationary occupants using radar, while motion sensors require physical movement to trigger.
Do mmWave sensors work in low-light or dark rooms?
Yes. Radar-based detection is unaffected by lighting conditions.
Can mmWave sensors detect multiple people?
Some models can estimate multiple occupants, depending on sensor capabilities and platform support.
Are mmWave presence sensors always active?
Yes. They continuously monitor presence to provide accurate, real-time occupancy data.
Are mmWave sensors safe to use indoors?
Yes. They use low-power radar designed for continuous indoor use.
