Promising dependable performance, their sensors are rigorously tested to assure longevity. Enjoy reduced power consumption, intuitive damage protection, and stable operation as benefits when you choose a Honeywell motion sensor.

What are integrated-circuit motion sensors?

Integrated-circuit motion sensors are small components used to detect movement within the immediate vicinity. Different technologies exist which utilise different mechanisms to achieve the detection. Hall effect sensors, for example, use magnetism to detect this movement. Small magnets can be embedded into door lids to perform simple open-close detection functionality. They can also be installed on rotating blades to detect the number of revelations, which can be converted to a measurement of speed.

Why are integrated-circuit motion sensors useful?

They are a variety of the larger category of integrated-circuit sensors, which find use in almost all electronic devices. Within one device, multiple types of sensors can perform different functions simultaneously. A smartphone may contain accelerometer sensors to detect device positioning, light sensors to adjust display brightness, and sound sensors to assist microphone function. Motion sensors specifically can be found installed in automatic doors, beverage dispensing, and security alarms.
