Presence Sensor vs True Presence Sensor in India
Share
By TRUEiSENSE – India’s Trusted Name in Sensor Lighting Solutions
As India moves rapidly toward smarter homes and energy-efficient commercial spaces, lighting automation is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. At the heart of this transformation lies one of the most underrated yet powerful technologies: presence sensing. At TRUEiSENSE, we specialize in cutting-edge presence sensors and sensor lighting solutions that elevate comfort, save energy, and create smarter living and working environments.
But when it comes to choosing the right sensor, there's often confusion between a standard presence sensor and a True Presence Sensor. Let’s break it down for you.
What is a Presence Sensor?
A presence sensor is a device designed to detect movement within a space. When someone enters or moves in a room, the sensor identifies the motion and triggers connected devices—usually lights—to turn on. Once no motion is detected for a set duration, the system turns off the lights automatically.
Common applications:
-
Office rooms
-
Corridors
-
Restrooms
-
Parking lots
-
Residential hallways
Limitations:
-
Relies solely on motion
-
Can miss people sitting still (e.g., working at a desk)
-
Prone to false triggers from background movement like curtains or AC airflow

What is a True Presence Sensor?
A True Presence Sensor is the next generation of sensing technology. Unlike conventional motion-based sensors, TRUEiSENSE True Presence Sensors detect micro-movements—such as breathing or slight hand movements—making them incredibly accurate.
This advanced technology ensures that the sensor can detect the actual presence of a person, even if they’re sitting still for long periods. The result? Lighting and devices stay on only when truly needed, with zero false triggers or unnecessary shutdowns.
Key benefits:
-
Accurate occupancy detectionpresence
-
Detects stationary individuals
-
Ideal for high-precision environments like meeting rooms, bedrooms, hospitals, or private offices
