The zc-pms-iot-2sw-r is a versatile PIR (Passive Infrared) multi-sensor developed by zencontrol, designed to enhance building automation systems. This sensor stands out by combining standard motion sensing capabilities with advanced environmental monitoring features.

While the zc-pir-iot-2sw-r offers essential motion detection and light level measurement capabilities, the zc-pms-iot-2sw-r extends functionality by incorporating comprehensive air quality monitoring sensors. This addition makes it particularly valuable in environments where monitoring indoor air quality is critical, such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. The built-in DALI power supply and relay further enhance its versatility, allowing for more streamlined installations and broader control applications.


Key Features of zc-pms-iot-2sw-r:

  1. Integrated Air Quality Monitoring:
    • eCO₂ Sensor: Estimates equivalent CO₂ levels, aiding in assessing indoor air quality.
    • eVOC Sensor: Detects equivalent Volatile Organic Compounds, identifying potential airborne pollutants.
    • Humidity Sensor: Measures ambient humidity, crucial for maintaining optimal indoor comfort and preventing issues like mold growth.
    • Temperature Sensor: Monitors ambient temperature, contributing to energy-efficient climate control.
    • Sound Level Sensor: Measures ambient sound levels, useful for noise monitoring and management.
  2. Motion and Light Detection:
    • PIR Motion Sensor: Detects movement to automate lighting and security systems.
    • Light Level Measurement: Assesses ambient light to optimize lighting conditions and energy usage.
  3. Built-in Relay and Switches:
    • Inbuilt Relay: Facilitates direct control of connected devices without the need for external relays.
    • Two Switch Inputs: Allows integration with external switches for manual control or additional automation triggers.
  4. DALI Power Supply:
    • 35mA DALI PSU: Provides power to DALI devices, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies.
  5. Wireless Connectivity:
    • IEC62386-104 over Thread: Supports wireless communication, enabling seamless integration into modern building automation systems.
