The ultimate meeting room and classroom people counting multi-sensor - extending what you thought possible in smart buildings.

 

With the launch of HPD3, STEINEL has extended their edge-device leadership in people counting.  Supported protocols include KNX, MQTT, BACnet and JSON via POE. Privacy assured, there are no cloud or monthly fees as it can be directly and securely connected to any backend (including your Azure or AWS instance).

 

With the ability to count people in up to 10 user-defined zones, you can monitor granularly down to individual workstations (1 zone per workstation) if required.  The multi-sensor functionality includes:

  • temperature
  • humidity
  • CO2
  • VOC
  • brightness
  • high frequency occupancy sensor for lighting

 

If all you need is the hardware to incorporate into your platform or solution, they're a one-off cost.

 

Use cases include:

  • space planning and optimisation
  • improve user comfort by dynamically throttling HVAC (proactive vs reactive control)
  • meeting room release
  • Covid compliance monitoring (people per unit area)
  • Dynamic / traffic-based cleaning scheduling
  • Staffing schedules

 

The STEINEL HPD3 comes in a recessed and surface mounted version.
