RE: The Solution to Room Occupation Detection



Mark,

My security pass for the office is like this. It only works within
half-an-inch or so of the detector, but I'm sure that's partly by intent. I
guess it would be possible to use the same principle and have detector in
ceilings or floors etc. As you suggest, you'd need to shrink the chip, but
it's got promise. Maybe the sensors could be hidden in the door surrounds
(like the anti-theft alarms in shops) to keep things tidy and the HA
controller keeps track of the movement in & out. Do you know anyone with
retail outlet contacts ?? ;-)

Cheers,

Tim H.

Tim,

What a funky idea...

Not necessarily one of these chips, but some form of proximity chip that
could go into a watch / necklace / etc.

Indeed :-)

Bringing the thread back on track a little, presumably one of these devices
could be embedded into a watch / broch / necklace / ring / other commonly
worn item ?

Hey, I've just thought, there's a great way to earn some brownie points and
get SWMBO-compliance for occupancy detection: Obtain one of these little
chips, have it embedded into a piece of expensive-looking jewellery and give
to SWMBO as a gift for putting up with all of the HA toys. Bingo ?

Or, "don't worry dear, being a cyborg isn't really _that_ bad!", yeah
right followed by the delicate sound of her hand impacting on my face,
or having no verbal communication until she chills out a bit...or all of
the above!
