To measure all kinds of input data in real-time, Office Spaces uses 4 different sensors. This article gives an overview of each sensor and explains how it is used. If you are looking to pair the Desk, Room, or Climate sensor to an Office Dot, read this article: "How to pair a sensor"
The Desk Availability Sensor:
This sensor is used in combination with an Office Dot to check the occupancy of a single desk. It should be mounted underneath the desk (centered from front to back) in order to prevent it detecting movement from people walking past the desk.
The Room Availability Sensor:
This sensor is used in combination with an Office Dot to check the occupancy of a meeting room. This sensor should be mounted on the wall on the side of the meeting room pointing towards the center of the meeting room. Alternatively this sensor can also be mounted in the middle of the ceiling.
The Climate Sensor:
This sensor is used in combination with an Office Dot to measure temperature, humidity and pressure as well as low power gas (Volatile Organic Compounds), it does this by transmitting data via bluetooth signals back to the Office Dot.
The People Counting Sensor:
This sensor is used in combination with an Office Dot to count the amount of footfall generated by people moving past the sensor. It does this by sending data received through its optical sensor back to the Office Dot.
