This mini radar motion sensor switch provides full 360-degree presence detection for your smart home setups. It uses 24GHz microwave signals to identify motion. This makes it more sensitive than typical PIR sensors. It can even detect a person who is sitting still. Features and Benefits
- Microwave Radar Technology - It works as a human presence detector. It senses movement through thin, non-metal materials like drywall or glass. You can install it completely hidden from view.
- 360-Degree Detection - The sensor scans in all directions from its position. This gives you full room coverage from a single point for a reliable occupancy sensor light switch.
- High Sensitivity - Unlike a PIR sensor that needs larger movements, this smart radar sensor can detect subtle motions like breathing. This prevents lights from turning off by accident.
- Compact and Adaptable - Its small size and 12V/24V input make this mini radar sensor easy to build into custom fixtures or enclosures for controlling LED lights. Applications
- Automated Lighting - Install it inside a cabinet or ceiling fixture. It will automatically turn on lights in a pantry, closet, or bathroom.
- Hidden Security - Use it as a presence sensor switch behind a decorative panel. It can trigger an alert or camera when motion is detected.
- Interactive Displays - Build a touchless radar sensor switch into a retail display or information kiosk. It will activate when someone approaches.
What It Is
This is a 360° Capacitive Sensor Switch, designed for smart home integration. It functions as a smart sensor switch, utilising capacitive sensing for enhanced detection across a 360-degree angle. This proximity sensor operates below 50V AC or 75V DC. Its key feature is the ability to penetrate glass walls, making it versatile for various installation scenarios. As a radar sensor, it detects presence without physical contact, providing a robust solution for automated control within a smart home environment.
Key Uses & Applications
This smart sensor switch is suitable for various smart home applications where non-contact detection is required. Its ability to penetrate glass walls makes it useful for discreet installations, such as behind mirrors or within sealed units. Common uses include automated lighting control, security system integration, or activating other electronics modules based on proximity. For example, it could trigger a smart device when a hand approaches a specific surface. The 360-degree detection angle ensures comprehensive coverage in its installation area.
How to Choose
When selecting a proximity sensor, consider the specific application requirements. This 360° Capacitive Sensor Switch is ideal for smart home use due to its penetration capability and capacitive sensing. For industrial sensor applications, you might consider other types, such as optical sensors, if 5 cm detection is sufficient. To test a proximity sensor, apply the specified voltage (below 50V AC or 75V DC for this model) and observe its activation when an object, or in this case, a hand, enters its 360-degree detection field, even through glass.

Rated Current: 15A. Q: What is the detection range and angle for this sensor switch? A: This switch offers 360-degree motion detection. The sensing distance is adjustable, typically working within a radius of 6 to 9 meters.. Q: Can this sensor really see through walls? A: It uses microwave radar, which can detect motion through thin, non-metallic materials like glass, drywall, or wood. It cannot see through thick concrete or metal.. Q: Is this a capacitive sensor or a different type? A: This is a microwave radar sensor, not a capacitive sensor. A capacitive sensor detects touch by changes in an electric field, while this device detects motion at a distance using radar waves.. Q: What's the return policy if it doesn't work for my custom home project? A: We have a 30-day return policy for any unopened products. If you've installed it and it's defective, it's covered under a separate warranty for replacement.. Q: How is this better than a common PIR motion detector? A: Unlike a PIR sensor, this radar sensor isn't affected by ambient temperature and doesn't need a direct line of sight to detect motion. This makes it more reliable for triggering lights or alarms in rooms with furniture or other obstructions..
