  2. Twilight switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_switch

    Also, keep in mind that ignition is based solely on the amount of natural light present and not on the height of the sun, so "unwanted ignition" may occur, for example in the presence of compact clouds associated with a significant drop in ambient light on the sensor (e.g., when there is a storm). To avoid this, twilight switches can be ...

  3. Chunithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunithm

    In Chunithm, players use touch and motion-based sensor bars to input commands that correspond to the notes scrolling down from the top of the screen.Depending on the type of note, players may be required to tap, hold, or slide their fingers against the bottom sensor bar or wave their hands up and down in the air between the sensors located on either side of the machine.

  4. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. 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.

  5. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    The major advantage of a lighting control system over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device. This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. They are largely used in industrial manufacturing. There are three different useful types: opposed (through-beam), retro-reflective, and proximity-sensing (diffused).

  9. Daylight harvesting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_harvesting

    Photosensors are used to adjust electric lighting based on the available daylight in the space. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In an open-loop system , the photosensor detects the amount of available daylight only, and can be positioned on the building's exterior wall or roof, or inside the building facing the window or skylight.
