Sensors

This skill is for picking the right sensor and making it behave in the real world, not just on paper.

Use it when the hard part is reliability: noisy rooms, bounce, bad mounting, false triggers, threshold tuning, or choosing between several sensor types.

Workflow

1. Define the event or quantity.

   • presence, passage, open/closed, impact, orientation, distance, climate, occupancy, leak, smoke

2. Define the environment.

   • indoor/outdoor
   • noisy people nearby
   • vibration, dust, sunlight, reflective surfaces
   • battery vs mains
