A mmWave presence sensor is a radar-based human detection device that senses presence — including micro-motion such as breathing — up to 2.5 meters, with no cameras and no false alarms from a still guest. Unlike PIR sensors, which register anyone reading in bed as “vacant” after 30 seconds of stillness and waste 20–40% of HVAC energy on rooms guests stepped out of, mmWave presence detection keeps a room marked occupied for the entire stay and flips to vacant only when both ceiling sensors (bedroom and bathroom) detect no micro-motion past the timeout.
For hotels and smart buildings this yields accurate housekeeping signals, real HVAC energy savings, and reliable occupancy analytics for revenue management. The same platform covers offices, meeting rooms, and bathrooms, so one hardware line supports an entire building automation project — all without cameras or wearables, preserving guest privacy.
