Audio Video Term

Occupancy Sensor

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

Occupancy Sensor is a sensor that detects presence or movement and can automatically trigger lighting or energy-saving actions.

Example of Occupancy Sensor

A Dinner scene can lower bright overhead lighting, warm accent lighting, and keep pathway lights on for safe movement through the home. In that kind of Davis lighting control project, the term Occupancy Sensor would describe a sensor that detects presence or movement and can automatically trigger lighting or energy-saving actions. Davis would use that understanding to account for fixture and dimmer compatibility, keypad scenes, daylight behavior, and final light-level tuning, 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.
