Trade Talk: PIR Technology
By Simon Buddle, Future Ready Homes. Motion detection is perceived by many as a relatively simple function to enable us to trigger fans or lights, whether internal or external. It’s not very clever and doesn’t require much by way of code to make it work. There are, however, myriad detector types utilising a wide array […]
Elsner Elektronik Offers KNX Carbon Dioxide Sensors
Reducing CO2 in indoor spaces – a good ambient climate improves well-being When measuring and monitoring the ambient climate we usually consider temperature and air humidity. However, our well-being is also influenced by another factor that is often neglected: the level of carbon dioxide in the air. The indoor sensors by Elsner Elektronik are also […]
