Now Plugwise introduces two unique products worldwide: the Scan and the Sense.

The Plugwise Scan light sensor and motion detector introduces many new features to the Plugwise system. Where saving energy was possible in many ways, it is now also possible to control your lighting with the Scan, using motion detection and light levels. The Scan is also a datalogger, providing insight into optimal usage of your building. And saving energy is just the beginning. The Scan provides the Plugwise system with information about the occupancy of office space and equipment, so the use of your building can be optimized. This prevents unnecessary investments in office space and equipment and saves significantly in energy consumption.

The Plugwise Sense is a new module for the Plugwise ZigBee network and provides measurement of temperature and relative humidity and stores this data in its memory. By installing Sense in your Plugwise system, you gain detailed insight into the evolution of the climatic conditions of individual rooms and can therefore implement appropriate measures to optimize comfort in your building.
