Discover the 100% privacy human detection and motion tracking solution

Smart presence detection using ST 8x8 multizone Time-of-Flight sensors

Smart presence detection based on ST multizone Time-of-Flight sensors

Smart presence detection based on ST multizone Time-of-Flight sensors

Leverage ST FlightSense technology and our advanced motion detection algorithm to accurately detect the presence and position of people. Choose between the VL53L7CX with a wide 90° field of view for smart building applications or the VL53L8CX with a 65° field of view for enhanced ambient light immunity and low power consumption. Select the right sensor for your application; learn more on our product page. Discover the solution by watching the video.

This video provides step-by-step instructions on installation, initial setup, and tips to launch quickly the Smart Presence Detection widget!

Step 1: Order your evaluation board

Discover the full potential of smart presence detection with our evaluation kits. If you're exploring Time-of-Flight sensors for the first time, the full STM32 Nucleo kit is an excellent way to start. If you already have an STM32F4 Nucleo board, our dedicated expansion board is the ideal expansion to evaluate your Time-of-Flight sensor. For evaluation tests in real environments, our breakout boards enable easy and immediate sensor integration.

Step 2: Use the graphical user interface and define your setting parameters

Step 2: Use the graphical user interface and define your setting parameters

Use the graphical user interface (SmartPresenceDetection_EVK) to configure your application. Its user-friendly widgets allow you to adjust sensor settings, distances, and timings to fine-tune your solution. Detailed user guidelines (SmartPresenceDetection_UG) in the package provide step-by-step support through the installation and evaluation processes.

Step 3: Integrate the solution into your device

Ready to integrate the solution into your device or application? Use our precompiled libraries, which are compatible with microcontrollers running Linux, Android, and Cortex® M0+, M3, M33, M4, M7, and start shaping applications of the future.
