Motion sensors are an under-utilized, but potentially game-changing aspect of smart home functionality.
When we were kids, we imagined the smart home of the future would have silent but friendly robot butlers, magic ovens that opened to roll out a fully cooked meal, and flying cars. We’re still waiting for most of that to become truly tangible, but smart homes have come a long way from the limited utility of The Clapper.
For the most part, motion detectors are always add-on gadgets. They are purchased at an extra cost and designed to be placed somewhere in a room to trip actions in the associated smart home products. But what if motion detectors were built into more devices? What if our smart home hubs all had motion detectors built in that could help us fine-tune actions?
Some smart motion detection is happening I will say this trend is starting to emerge. Amazon’s Echo Show 10, for example, uses motion sensors to trigger Occupancy Routines, where the Show 10 in your office would detect the movement of you coming into the room and could turn on your decorative Nanoleaf lighting panels as well as the overhead light , start your ambient-at-work music playlist, and trigger your Amazon smart plug to turn on a fan or air purifier.
