Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence to smart home applications, such as smart door locks.
For many years, proximity sensing and presence detection capabilities have been popular features in various smart home applications, such as security systems, lighting, and HVAC controls. However, sensors traditionally used in these applications are sensitive to varying heating and lighting conditions. They are also power-hungry, sometimes difficult to conceal, provide a limited field-of-view (FoV), tend to be complex in design, and yet provide no intelligence.
A new generation of miniaturized ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors enable new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence-detection technologies. These sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence to smart home applications, such as smart door locks.
