The optical presence detector, thePixa KNX, detects how many people are in a room and where they are. This information is used to trigger predefined actions in the KNX building control system. It’s not just the building automation features that stand to gain – there are completely new benefits, especially for building operators. For example, flexible options for configuring desk-sharing or for optimising room occupancy and building cleaning activities.
For decades, classic Presence detectors with passive infrared technology have controlled the lighting and indoor climate of many rooms in a sustainable and energy-efficient manner. They detect people accurately and reliably based on their body heat and movements. The pixel-based detection technology of thePixa KNX optical presence detector opens up further applications with enhanced value, extending far beyond the scope of PIR presence detectors.
Advantages of thePixa at a glance:
- Pixel-based detection technology
- Detecting & counting objects & people
- 100% GDPR compliant
- Triggering KNX building automation actions
- Added value for building operators
- Easy app programming
