Occupancy Sensor
An occupancy sensor reports whether a space is in use, typically from passive infrared (PIR) motion. It turns lights and scenes on when someone enters and off after the room is empty.
Our top picks
The brands we reach for first, best to 2.
Lutron

Insteon
1 modelInsteon is a dual-band powerline and RF home automation system. Home Assistant controls it locally through an Insteon Hub or a PLM PowerLinc Modem, with no cloud required. SmartLabs shut Insteon down in 2022 and the brand was later acquired and revived. Most hardware is now legacy and secondary-market. It fits existing Insteon installs rather than new builds.
