Dual IR beam-break occupancy counter - Open Source Building Science Sensors
http://www.osbss.com/tutorials/dual-ir-beam-break-occupancy
Dual IR beam-break occupancy counter. April 25, 2014. IR beam break sensors can be used to detect the number of people entering or exiting a building’s or room’s doorway by emitting a beam of infrared light and watching for the beam to be broken by a person passing through. Single beam break sensors allow for aggregate data on human activity in a space but dual beam break sensors will allow for directional counting.

Data from OSBSS proximity sensor - Open Source Building Science Sensors
http://www.osbss.com/data-from-osbss-proximity-sensor
Data from OSBSS proximity sensor. February 20, 2015. Now that our new proximity data logger tutorial is published. I would like to show some data of its performance. Below are photos from a co-location test with the initial prototype OSBSS proximity sensor and an off-the-shelf Onset HOBO occupancy/light logger. We’re watching you, Parham! Update 02.26.2015:. These results are even more encouraging! Both sensors detect motion in a very similar pattern. It appears that Parham left his desk around 9 pm ...

Blog - Open Source Building Science Sensors
http://www.osbss.com/blog
January 9, 2016. We’ve been testing several wireless prototypes of building sensor nodes and will keep this blog updated on the progress as we go along. In the meantime, we thought it would be cool to make a PCB version of our T/RH data logger. The board was designed in CadSoft Eagle. And sent over to OSH Park. For fabrication. Here’s is one of the OSBSS data logger prototypes that we soldered (using a hacked $12 toaster oven from Target, obviously):. Continue Reading →. March 31, 2015. March 16, 2015.
