Multi IR is a professional Human Presence Sensor Manufacturer providing intelligent presence detection solutions for smart homes, smart buildings, offices, hotels, lighting systems, HVAC automation, and IoT applications. Our human presence sensors use radar, infrared, or combined sensing technologies to detect both moving and stationary occupants. Depending on the model, available functions can include presence detection, distance sensing, zone detection, illuminance sensing, adjustable detection range, no-presence timing, and intelligent device linkage.
For brands, distributors, system integrators, and IoT solution providers, Multi IR also supports OEM and ODM Human Presence Sensor projects covering hardware, firmware, communication protocols, housing design, smart platform integration, testing, branding, packaging, and mass production.

Different models are available for residential, commercial, and smart building applications.
Human presence sensors and PIR motion sensors serve related but different detection requirements.
| Feature | Human Presence Sensor | PIR Motion Sensor |
|---|---|---|
| Main Purpose | Occupancy / presence detection | Human movement detection |
| Stationary Person Detection | Supported on suitable radar models | Generally limited |
| Small Movement Detection | More sensitive | Requires clearer body movement |
| Typical Technology | mmWave radar / radar + infrared | Pyroelectric infrared |
| Smart Lighting | Suitable | Suitable |
| HVAC Occupancy Control | Highly suitable | Suitable for basic motion-based control |
| Office / Meeting Room Occupancy | Strong fit | May require repeated movement |
| Security Motion Detection | Can support automation | Commonly used |
A PIR motion sensor is suitable when the system mainly needs to detect movement.
A Human Presence Sensor is more appropriate when the system needs to determine whether a person remains in the space even when movement is minimal.
Detect whether a person is present within the target area, including moving and relatively stationary occupants depending on the selected sensing technology.
Measure occupancy at different distances to support more precise automation and room-based sensing strategies.
Divide a room into sensing zones so different areas can trigger different smart actions.
Zone-based sensing can be useful in larger rooms, offices, meeting spaces, or multi-function environments.
Selected human presence sensors include ambient light sensing.
For example, the MIR-HE300 supports illuminance detection from 1–1000 lux, allowing lighting and curtain automation to respond to both occupancy and environmental brightness.
After occupants leave the detection area, the sensor can support delayed actions rather than immediately switching connected equipment off.
This is useful for lighting, HVAC, and smart scene control where short temporary absences should not trigger unnecessary system changes.
Presence sensors can help automate lighting, curtains, air conditioning, ventilation, and other connected devices based on actual room occupancy.
Lights can switch on when occupancy is detected and switch off after the room becomes vacant.
Combined presence and illuminance sensing can further prevent unnecessary lighting when sufficient natural light is available.
Occupancy information can be used to control heating, cooling, and ventilation according to whether a space is actively occupied.
This can help reduce unnecessary equipment operation in vacant rooms.
Presence sensors can support occupancy-based lighting, climate control, meeting room automation, and workspace management.
Human presence detection can be integrated into hotel room automation systems to support lighting, HVAC, curtain, and energy-management functions.
Presence sensing can become part of a larger building automation system by providing real-time occupancy information to gateways, controllers, and centralized platforms.
Unlike basic motion sensors, radar-based presence sensors can continue detecting occupants who remain seated with limited movement, making them suitable for meeting rooms and conference spaces.
Ceiling-mounted presence sensors provide centralized detection coverage and are suitable for spaces where discreet installation and broad room coverage are required.
Multi IR's MIR-HE300, for example, is a ceiling-mounted model using 24GHz radar technology.
Its radar detection area covers approximately a 4-meter diameter for motion and stillness detection under specified installation conditions.
Ceiling-mounted sensors are commonly suitable for:
Living rooms
Bedrooms
Offices
Meeting rooms
Hotel rooms
Kitchens
Smart lighting projects
Wall-mounted sensors can be suitable when ceiling installation is inconvenient or when detection needs to focus on a specific direction or area.
They can be integrated into smart spaces requiring occupancy-triggered lighting, climate control, security automation, or customized smart scenes.
Installation method should always be selected according to:
Room geometry
Detection area
Furniture layout
Installation height
Detection direction
Wiring conditions
System architecture
For B2B projects, sensor selection should begin with the application rather than only the communication protocol.
Consider whether the project requires:
Motion detection only
Stationary presence detection
Micro-movement sensing
Distance detection
Zone sensing
Occupancy / absence status
If stationary occupancy is important, radar-based presence sensing is generally more appropriate than conventional PIR motion sensing.
Room size and layout determine the required sensing coverage.
Consider:
Room dimensions
Ceiling height
Installation position
Detection angle
Required detection distance
Obstructions and furniture
Choose between ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or other installation configurations according to the building and room structure.
The sensor should match the project's existing automation ecosystem.
For example:
Zigbee for smart home networks
Bluetooth for selected connected applications
KNX for compatible building automation projects
Some projects only need basic occupancy status.
Others may require:
Illuminance sensing
Zone detection
No-presence delay
Detection sensitivity adjustment
Smart linkage
Remote configuration
OTA functionality
For branded or integrated projects, clarify whether customization is required for:
Hardware
Firmware
Protocols
Housing
Product color
Logo
Packaging
App integration
Certification
