Smart Sensors – The Invisible Intelligence of Your Smart Home

Precision Detection. Seamless Automation. Elevated Living.

At AutoNest, we believe the smartest homes are the ones that anticipate your needs. With smart sensors at the core of your automation ecosystem, your home becomes intuitive—responding to presence, absence, temperature, air quality, and more, in real-time.

What Are Smart Sensors?

Smart sensors are the eyes, ears, and nerve endings of your smart home system. They silently monitor the environment and trigger intelligent automations—from switching on lights when you enter, to adjusting your climate when more people enter the room.

 What Can Smart Sensors Detect?

Here’s what our modern sensors can detect in real-time:

 Motion & Presence

PIR (Passive Infrared) Motion Sensors

Detects movement based on body heat crossing detection zones. Ideal for basic occupancy-based lighting or security.

mmWave Presence Sensors

Uses millimetre-wave radar to detect subtle micro-movements like breathing or gestures—ideal for bedrooms, offices, or any space where someone may be present but still. Also supports people counting and zone-specific detection.

Microwave Sensors

Uses Doppler radar technology to detect motion through certain materials. Useful in challenging environments where PIR may fail (e.g., bathrooms, glass doors).

 Environmental Monitoring

Temperature & Humidity

Fine-tune climate control. Automatically manage heating/cooling, humidifiers, or window shades.

Thermal Sensors

Detect body heat patterns and help in applications like fall detection, people-counting, or sleep monitoring.

Light Levels (Lux Sensors)

Measure ambient light to adjust lighting brightness or switch off lights when daylight is sufficient.

CO₂ & Air Quality Sensors

Monitor indoor air quality and control ventilation systems or send alerts.

Leak Detectors

Instantly alert to water leaks near appliances, bathrooms, or basements.

Installation & Commissioning

Our trained on-site team installs and configures all components, ensuring they work seamlessly together.

Where Should Smart Sensors Be Installed?

Strategic placement is key. We recommend:

Hallways & Entryways

PIR for movement-triggered lighting and security.

Bedrooms & Offices

mmWave for still presence detection.

Living Areas

Combined PIR + lux for responsive lighting.

Bathrooms & Kitchens

Humidity + microwave for ventilation and moisture control.

Theatre & AV Rooms

mmWave for automatic lighting and climate control when in use.
