Frequently asked questions
Occupancy sensor FAQs
Still have questions? Browse our FAQs below, and contact us if yours isn’t covered.
What are occupancy sensors, and how do they work?
Occupancy sensors detect the presence of people in a given space by using motion detection, infrared, heat or other sensor technologies. In the workplace, they track real-time occupancy and space usage, providing data on how desks, meeting rooms, and common areas are utilized over time.
What are the advantages of using occupancy sensors?
Occupancy sensors provide real-time data on space usage, helping optimize space utilization, reduce energy costs, and improve workplace efficiency. They can identify underused or overused spaces, enabling smarter decision-making when it comes to real estate right-sizing, workplace design and space management.
How can occupancy sensors reduce costs and carbon?
Occupancy sensors play a key role in sustainability by helping reduce energy consumption. By providing insights into space usage, organizations can adjust lighting, heating, cooling, and other resources based on actual occupancy. By avoiding overuse of energy in unoccupied areas, businesses can lower their utility bills and minimize waste; creating a more eco-friendly office environment.
How are HubStar sensors installed?
HubStar sensors are designed for quick and easy installation, placed under a desk or on a ceiling using damage-free, peel-and-stick adhesive strips They require minimal technical setup and allowing you to start gathering data in minutes.
Do HubStar sensors need to connect to my WiFi network?
No, HubStar sensors use cellular networks so they do not need to be on your corporate WiFi network.
Can occupancy sensors be integrated with my existing workplace software?
Yes, HubStar's occupancy sensors can be integrated with most existing workplace software systems, such as desk booking, room scheduling and workplace analytics software. Providing real-time data on space availability helps to optimize bookings, allocate resources, and enhance decision-making about office space management.
Can HubStar use data from my existing workplace sensors?
Yes, our platform supports and processes data from any sensor providers, and other data sources such as scheduling and WiFi. Some of our most common occupancy sensor integrations are Butlr, XYSense, VergeSense, PointGrab, Xovis and Milesight.
Can I lease HubStar sensors for a short period of time?
Yes! HubStar offer short term utilization studies, contact us to learn more.
