The RP-C-EXT-IS-BLE Insight-Sensor connects to the RP controllers and is used for people counting, infrared motion detection, and luminosity and sound pressure level measurements, and supports Bluetooth Low Energy based applications such as beaconing and remote control communication.
The Insight-Sensor provides real-time occupant information that enables immediate control of HVAC for optimized energy consumption and indoor environment, for example, by adapting the fan speed to occupancy level or turning off the lights when unoccupied.
The Insight-Sensor is connected to the RP controller using an RJ45 type quick connector.
The Insight-Sensor's three flexible mounting brackets (springs) enable quick and easy installation on a suspended ceiling tile. The Insight-Sensor also comes with a mounting ring, which allows the device to be installed in open ceiling applications.
The Insight-Sensor is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. The Insight-Sensor support for Bluetooth beacon enables nearby mobile devices with a specific app installed to interact when in close proximity to the broadcasting Insight-Sensor. The Bluetooth beacon can be used for services such as indoor positioning of the mobile device. The service and mobile app need to be provided by a third party. The Bluetooth connection can also be used for communication with the RP-C-RC-BLE remote control, which makes it possible to control the lighting, blinds, and air conditioning in a zone of an office building.
The Insight-Sensor is part of the RP controller expansion modules product range. The Insight-Sensor can be combined with the RP controller expansion modules for lighting and blind control to provide a connected room solution.
