Thingsee PRESENCE

Overview

Thingsee PRESENCE is a wireless sensor for measuring people presence throughout your facility. The sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect heat source movement (human, animal, etc.) in an area and reports the indicative count of detections to the cloud.

The device supports two distinct operating modes:

• Visitor Counting Mode - Counts movements for traffic analysis
• Occupancy Mode - Detects workspace or area occupancy status

Thingsee PRESENCE connects via Wirepas Mesh network and requires a Wirepas-enabled gateway for cloud communication.

Quick Start

1. Installation - Mount sensor and install accessories
2. Operation - Understand operating modes and messages
3. Configuration - Configure sensor behavior
4. Troubleshooting - Resolve common issues
