- Lets lighting and heating follow whether a room is in use
Available to order · ships from Loxone UK
Overview
Lights left on in an empty meeting room. A hotel corridor lit at full brightness all night. Heating running in a care home lounge long after residents have gone to bed. At home, a dark landing on the way to the bathroom at night. All of these come down to the same thing: the building does not know whether anyone is there.
The Loxone Presence Sensor Air answers that question. Mounted on the ceiling, it detects people in the room and measures brightness, so lighting, heating and other functions can respond to how spaces are actually used.
What it does
A passive infrared sensor with a 360° detection field registers presence and movement, while the integrated light sensor makes sure lights only come on when it is actually dark enough to need them. The same sensor can also act as an intrusion detector within the Loxone alarm system. When it is externally powered, it can additionally detect sound in the room.
Central management, comfort and energy
- Less waste: lights and heating can switch off or set back when rooms, corridors and stairwells are empty.
- Comfort and safety: a lit path at night on stairs, landings and corridors, without anyone looking for a switch.
- Insight: occupancy information is available centrally, alongside the rest of the building.
- Flexible placement: wireless, so it can be fitted where it works best rather than where a cable happens to be.
Good to know
The sensor connects via Loxone Air to a Miniserver Go, or to a Miniserver with an Air Base Extension. It runs on two AA batteries (included) or on a 9–30 V DC supply; sound detection needs the external supply. A cover sticker is included to limit the detection area where required.
You can order it here. If you prefer, The Automation House can also advise on it, plan it and supply it as part of a complete solution, with installation and aftercare arranged through our installation partner.

Pros & cons
Our view on this product
What we like
- On batteries, no cable to the ceiling is needed
- Motion, brightness and (with 24 V) presence in one sensor
- Can also be used as a detector for the Loxone alarm
Worth knowing
- On batteries it detects motion and brightness only; continuous presence and sound detection need a 9–30 V DC supply
- Needs a Miniserver Go or an Air Base Extension
- Can also detect some pets
