France-based Orioma showcased its LobX-2 IR sensor at CES Unveiled.
It uses a 128×128 pixel IR sensor to heatmap an area in the room and from this data stream it can infer the occupancy level of the room and adjust the temperature, airflow and lighting as appropriate. It can also detect unusual conditions ranging from an overheating electrical component, an intruder, and even an incapacitated, immobile person.
It will be interesting to see how many more features will arise as new use cases occur. It uses the LoRa communications protocol. Expected service life is 15 years. LobX-2 uses a 3-D printed, high efficiency in low light, photo-voltaic collector with integral energy storage produced by Dracula-Technologies. Installation is simplified because no external power is required.
LobX is available for outright purchase or on a subscription basis.
