Hi!

I am searching for an overview on how modern sensor technology can
improve everyday life. That would include motion sensors for light or
heat sensors in the kitchen.

What are the possibilities out there these days?

Thorsten,


I have installed occupancy sensors in my house and use them for a
varity of applications.  Take a look at my web page to see how this
has made our life easier:
