XY Sense Launches Presence: Wireless Solution for Real-Time Monitoring of Compact Office Spaces

New sensor enables companies to unlock occupancy insights from office phone booths, small meeting rooms and focus areas, without a wired install.​

BISWIRE/Oct. 24, 2024 — XY Sense, the real-time workplace occupancy sensor platform based in New York and Melbourne, today announced the launch of XY Sense Presence, a cutting-edge wireless sensor designed specifically for real-time occupancy monitoring in small meeting rooms, phone booths, and other compact office spaces.

XY Sense Presence delivers the same market-leading accuracy and privacy-preserving benefits as XY Sense’s flagship Area sensors, but in a streamlined, cost-effective package tailored for smaller spaces. This addition to the XY Sense portfolio makes it easier than ever for organizations to unlock actionable insights from spaces often overlooked in occupancy analysis.

“With the launch of Presence, we’re broadening our coverage to include smaller, high-demand spaces where rapid occupancy feedback is essential in today’s hybrid workplaces. Presence ensures workplace leaders can understand how every square foot of their office space is being used, while adhering to the highest privacy standards,” said Luke Murray, Chief Technology Officer of XY Sense.

Key Features of XY Sense Presence:

• Privacy-First, Wireless Design: Presence is a wireless, battery-powered Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor that offers ultra-streamlined installation, 3-year battery life and secure LoRaWAN connectivity. The sensor detects human heat and movement but does not capture or store images, making it fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA privacy regulations.
• Accurate, Real-Time Occupancy Insights: Like all XY Sense solutions, Presence is both highly accurate and real time. The sensor has a tested motion detection accuracy of ~99% and updates XY Sense live views and APIs in <1 minute from motion detection.
• Seamless Integration and Scale: Each Presence sensor connects to the cloud-based XY Sense analytics platform via a single Presence Gateway per floor, making it possible to manage hundreds of Presence sensors with ease. Simple adhesive-based installation options keep costs low for spaces where line of sight and wiring access can be challenging. 
• Presence sensor data is fully integrated into XY Sense live views, analytics suite and API, allowing workplace teams to access real-time occupancy insights, historical reporting, and predictive analytics from multi-sensor deployments with ease.

XY Sense Presence is available now through a flexible Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) model or CAPEX purchase with an annual platform subscription.
