VS341 - Desk&Seat Occupancy Sensor

The VS341 is a pro-grade occupancy sensor designed to detect whether desks or seats in a workspace are occupied, allowing for better management and optimization of space usage. The sensor combines high-precision PIR technology with an additional Thermopile IR temperature sensor to achieve up to 98% accuracy in occupancy detection. This LoRaWAN-enabled sensor enables efficient workspace management by automating desk and seat monitoring, freeing up human resources for other tasks.

Features

  • Ultra-High Accuracy: Up to 98% detection accuracy with dual sensing technology (PIR + Thermopile IR)
  • Advanced Sensing: Combines PIR sensor with Thermopile IR temperature sensor for enhanced precision
  • Flexible Detection: Different types of PIR covers for adjustable field angles and detecting ranges
  • LoRaWAN Connectivity: Long-range wireless communication for seamless integration
  • Milesight D2D Protocol: Ultra-low latency direct device-to-device control without gateways
  • Workspace Optimization: Real-time desk and seat occupancy monitoring
  • Compact Design: Easy installation on desks and seats

Use Cases

  • Smart Office Management: Monitor desk occupancy for hot-desking environments
  • Space Utilization: Optimize workspace allocation based on real-time usage data
  • Facility Management: Track seat occupancy in conference rooms, co-working spaces, and libraries
  • Resource Planning: Analyze workspace usage patterns for better facility planning
  • Energy Efficiency: Integrate with HVAC and lighting systems for occupancy-based automation

Thinger.io Integration

The VS341 integrates seamlessly with Thinger.io through LoRaWAN connectivity, enabling real-time occupancy monitoring, data visualization, and workspace analytics. The integration supports automated device provisioning, data bucket creation, and dashboard visualization for efficient workspace management.

Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the VS341 into Thinger.io. Supported options include:

The corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance.

Get Started

Installation

Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed, a new Product will be created for this device.

Configuration

The Product is already preconfigured. Check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your preference.

Usage

Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. This product provides predefined dashboards for occupancy monitoring and visualization.
