Smart plugs are a simple, affordable way to upgrade your home. Here are some clever ways I use them for automation.

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Since it would be challenging to find all the different types of sensors in one place, we decided to put together a list of some of the best ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a special technique that will allow better control over atomic reflections in quantum sensors. This new approach uses carefully engineered light pulses as atomic ...

If you’ve been watching Nintendo Switch 2 news like a hawk for the past few weeks, you may have spotted leaks about the new and improved Joy-Con controllers, and wondering just what an IR sensor is.

Steelcase. has been granted a patent for advanced occupancy sensing systems and methods. The technology involves adjusting signal thresholds and analyzing motion signals to accurately determine human ...

I have about 20 EPLs in my home, and virtually all of them have the same issue. Sooner or later, they enter a state where either "Occupancy" sensor is "Clear", but other sensors, such as "Target X ...

Sensors act as a middle ground between the physical and digital. They measure all sorts of variables from touch, temperature, and heart rate across many different sectors, which IDTechEx’s report ...

NOVELDA’s X7 radar chip is already capable of performing one of the world’s lowest power presence detection, child presence detection (CPD), and vital signs monitoring. X7 now adds seat occupancy ...

An overwhelming majority of handheld devices these days have ambient light sensors built into them. A large percentage of TVs and monitors do, too, and that proportion is growing. The sensors allow ...

The ambient light sensors typically employed in smart devices for adjusting screen brightness could capture images of user interactions and could pose a unique privacy threat, according to researchers ...
