2. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

   Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

3. Daylight harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_harvesting

   When sensors were placed on desktops in an office building, an penalty of 24% on energy saving occurred. [7] In both the open- and closed-loop configurations, the signal from the photosensor must be carefully calibrated to accurately indicate the effect of exterior daylight variations on the light level on 'important function' areas in the space.

4. Motion detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

   Motion sensors are also widely used in lieu of a true occupancy sensor in activating street lights or indoor lights in walkways, such as lobbies and staircases. In such smart lighting systems, energy is conserved by only powering the lights for the duration of a timer, after which the person has presumably left the area.

5. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

   Capacitive sensors are constructed from many different media, such as copper, indium tin oxide (ITO) and printed ink. Copper capacitive sensors can be implemented on standard FR4 PCBs as well as on flexible material. ITO allows the capacitive sensor to be up to 90% transparent (for one layer solutions, such as touch phone screens).

6. Heat detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_detector

   A residential heat detector. A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element.

7. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   Level sensors detect the level of liquids and other fluids and fluidized solids, including slurries, granular materials, and powders that exhibit an upper free surface. Substances that flow become essentially horizontal in their containers (or other physical boundaries) because of gravity whereas most bulk solids pile at an angle of repose to a ...
