Audio Video Term

Occupancy-Based Automation

Occupancy-Based Automation is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Occupancy-Based Automation is automation that responds to whether a room or area is occupied, usually through motion, presence, or occupancy sensors.

Example of Occupancy-Based Automation

A homeowner presses a single Goodnight button and the lights turn off, shades lower, doors lock, security arms, and the thermostat adjusts. In that kind of Davis smart home project, the term Occupancy-Based Automation would describe automation that responds to whether a room or area is occupied, usually through motion, presence, or occupancy sensors. Davis would use that understanding to account for scenes, schedules, sensors, app controls, and support routines that work together instead of feeling like separate gadgets, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
