Occupancy measurement

The type of sensor in a sensor system determines how occupancy is measured.

A sensor system can either:

• Detect occupancy (returns 0 or 1, Null - the equivalent of no/yes/unknown).

• Count occupancy (returns a digit or a number or Null).

• Flow of people (returns in/out counter readings or Null).

This information, when returned by the connector, is stored in the Planon application.

Field	Value	Remark
Occupancy value	0 or 1	0 = not occupied 1 = occupied Empty: occupancy cannot be determined by the sensor system.
Person count	Null, a digit / number	Empty: The sensor system cannot count occupancy. A digit or a number: The actual count of occupancy.
Flow	Null, in / out counter reading	Null: the sensor system cannot perform a flow count. A digit or a number: the actual flow count.
