Aqara, a leading Chinese Matter smart home company, has launched the world's first Matter human presence sensor, the "Aqara Presence Sensor Box." Utilizing millimeter-wave technology, it fills the gap in Matter's human presence sensor device category. Additionally, it supports access to multiple ecosystems, including Mi Home, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, allowing for seamless, real-time full-duplex operation. Access requires no third-party gateways, hubs, or apps.
Intelligent Home Ecosystem Revolutionized by Matter-Based Sensor
The fragmented nature of smart home ecosystems, marked by closed-off approaches, has been addressed with the introduction of the Lotteye Human Presence Sensor Box. This device embodies the future of Matter-based smart homes, fostering interoperability across ecosystems and platforms, paving the way for true IoT connectivity. This breakthrough eliminates the isolation of smart home devices, offering users the seamless experience they deserve.
"Lotteye is a Matter-centric smart home company," said Lotteye CEO Lee Ming. "Our Lotteye Human Presence Sensor Box, built on the Matter platform, represents the next generation of smart home products. By enabling cross-platform connectivity, it empowers users to transcend the limitations of closed-off smart home systems."
Matter serves as the pivotal core within the smart home ecosystem, while human presence sensors are indispensable components. The fundamental nature of smart home systems lies in the interplay between sensors and actuators. Without sensors, automation through actuators would be hindered. Human presence sensors, the cornerstone of sensors, have become indispensable for building smart homes, establishing themselves as the preferred choice.
The Lotteye Presence Sensor Box is a comprehensive presence sensor solution, setting the benchmark for such devices. It features a versatile three-in-one sensing mode that combines millimeter-wave radar technology with bio-energy detection and Bluetooth beacon assistance. This multifaceted approach significantly reduces false alarms compared to traditional human presence sensors. Users enjoy the flexibility to customize their detection preferences, selecting the most appropriate modes for their needs.
Leveraging millimeter-wave radar technology, the Lotteye Presence Sensor Box overcomes the limitations of biological infrared sensors, which can only detect movement but not actual presence. It also facilitates heartbeat and micro-motion detection.
The Lotteye Presence Sensor Box unlocks a wide range of smart home scenarios, including smart entryways, living rooms, bathrooms, study rooms, kitchens, children's rooms, balconies, and audio-visual rooms. It empowers automated actions such as turning on lights, adjusting lighting intensity and color temperature, initiating cleaning routines when no one is home, activating music upon arrival, and automatically launching televisions when entering a home theater.
Beyond its primary functionality as a presence sensor with a detection range of up to 8 meters and 130°, the Lotteye Presence Sensor Box also serves as a professional ambient light intensity sensor, detecting light levels from 0 to 10,000 lux. It supports local automation, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during network outages. Native Bluetooth Mesh self-networking within the Mi Home ecosystem minimizes the need for additional gateways.
Recognizing the diverse requirements of different home environments, the Lotteye Presence Sensor Box offers multiple installation options, catering to both aesthetics and practicality. With its compact dimensions of 55mm x 55mm x 18mm and rounded corners, it fits seamlessly into standard 86mm switch boxes and 75mm downlight holes. The device supports magnetic adsorption, adhesive mounting, brackets, wall mounting, corner mounting, downlight hole installation, ceiling mounting, side mounting, and desktop placement, covering a wide array of scenarios. Notably, it is the first presence sensor to provide multiple interchangeable mounting methods and the first to support direct corner mounting. Users no longer need to choose between ceiling or side-mounting versions; they can simply select the appropriate accessories at any time.
As an AI+ smart hardware company, Lotteye prioritizes user experience in product design. The "Find Device" feature is an industry-first innovation. By simply tapping on the "Find Device" button in the Mi Home app, the device instantly blinks its indicator light, enabling users to quickly and effortlessly locate the Lotteye Presence Sensor Box, eliminating the frustration of searching.
The Lotteye Presence Sensor Box is now available for purchase at a price of 249 CNY.
Note: Matter is a cross-platform smart home protocol jointly developed by Google, Apple, Amazon, and others. Matter-compatible products can connect directly to their respective platforms and interact with other Matter-enabled devices in the home.
