2. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

   A complete sensor consists of a motion detector, an electronic control unit, and a controllable switch/relay. The detector senses motion and determines whether there are occupants in the space. [9] It also has a timer that signals the electronic control unit after a set period of inactivity. The control unit uses this signal to activate the ...

3. Motion detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

   A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection). Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area. They form a vital component of security, automated lighting control, home control, energy efficiency ...

4. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

   An indoor light switch equipped with PIR-based occupancy sensor [1] An occupancy sensor is an indoor device used to detect the presence of a person. Applications include automatic adjustment of lights or temperature or ventilation systems in response to the quantity of people present. The sensors typically use infrared, ultrasonic, microwave ...

5. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

   A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications. PIR sensors detect general movement, but do not give ...

6. Time switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_switch

   A time switch (also called a timer switch, or simply timer) is a device that operates an electric switch controlled by a timer. Intermatic introduced its first time switch in 1945, which was used for "electric signs, store window lighting, apartment hall lights, stokers, and oil and gas burners." A consumer version was added in 1952.

7. Traffic light control and coordination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_light_control_and...

   Traffic light control and coordination. A junction for road vehicles and pedestrians controlled by traffic lights in the UK. The various vehicle and pedestrian movements are separated in either time or space for safety and efficiency. The normal function of traffic lights requires more than sight control and coordination to ensure that traffic ...
