Introduction

Upgrade smart automation with the C4001 24GHz mmWave Sensor. Unlike traditional PIR sensors that only detect large movements and fail when occupants remain still, this sensor utilizes advanced FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave) technology to detect micro-motions such as human breathing.

Engineered for long-range and high-precision applications, it accurately detects human presence up to 16 meters and motion up to 25 meters, making it ideal for large living spaces, long corridors, and comprehensive security monitoring.


Why Choose the C4001?

  • True Presence Detection: Accurately senses people who are sitting, lying down, or even sleeping.
  • High Environmental Immunity: Unaffected by temperature, humidity, dust, light, or noise.
  • Long-Range Sensing: Covers areas up to 25m, significantly outperforming standard 9m or 5m radars.
  • Effortless Integration: Designed for compatibility with Arduino, ESPHome, Home Assistant, and other popular DIY platforms.

    How It Works: The FMCW Advantage

    The C4001's precision is derived from its Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology. It continuously emits a signal and analyzes frequency shifts in the return wave. This method allows it to determine an object's distance and, through the Doppler effect, detect microscopic movements—such as breathing—which is the key to its unparalleled static presence detection capability.


    Flexible Installation Options

    For optimal performance, the installation method should be chosen to suit the intended application. Top-down installation is ideal for room-wide coverage, while tilted or horizontal installation is better for directional sensing in specific zones.

    • Applications
  • Smart Bathroom: Ensures lights and exhaust fans remain active as long as the space is occupied, then shut off automatically when vacant. This provides a hands-free, convenient, and energy-efficient solution.
  • Advanced Security Monitoring: Unlike motion detectors prone to false alarms from environmental factors, the C4001 detects actual human presence. This allows for security systems that provide more meaningful alerts when individuals linger in a protected area.
  • Intelligent Energy Management: In offices or living spaces, the C4001 24GHz mmWave sensor enables precise occupancy-based control of HVAC, air purifiers, and lighting systems. Equipment runs only when rooms are occupied, maximizing energy savings.
