Who it’s for
- Accessible & Aging-in-Place
- US or Canadian project owners working with an appropriately qualified local installer
The project challenge
- A seated route can approach a sensor differently from a standing walk test.
What the system should achieve
- Test actual seated approach angles and retain reachable manual lights.
Recommended system architecture
- Motion input + time condition → hub rule → a compatible light action
- Manual override takes priority and a retriggerable timeout avoids immediate switch-off.
Equipment & ecosystem choices
- Aqara Motion Sensor P1 with a compatible Aqara hub
- A manufacturer-supported lighting actuator; alternative vendor branch only after trigger testing
Installation & technical requirements
- Walk-test detection boundaries and approach directions; set mounting angle and timeout using the real route, not a product range maximum.
- Site acceptance focus: Test actual seated approach angles and retain reachable manual lights.
Compatibility & construction constraints
- PIR motion is not continuous occupancy or fall detection. Keep manual lighting and an independent safe baseline; confirm exact sensor/actuator hub support.
- Do not use the sensor as collision prevention or route-safety certification.
Make it your own
- For wheelchair-route smart lighting, confirm room/door/zone counts, agreed controls, notification recipients and installation stage.
- Specific decision: Do not use the sensor as collision prevention or route-safety certification.
Preliminary equipment plan
- One sensor per independently covered approach zone, adjusted after walk tests; one actuator per controllable lighting load; hub by tested coverage.
- Scale by the surveyed scope for wheelchair-route smart lighting, not by a fixed package advertised without a site schedule.
What shapes the budget
- Blind spots, approach directions, existing luminaires, actuator wiring and required manual controls.
- Country/city, labor, taxes, shipping, warranty route and confirmed supply source; no price or stock is assumed.
