how can i count people with two motion sensor
Need Answer
i see with febaro can we count people in a room with two motion sensor. can we do that with zipabox? and how?
The same question
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
Saxion,
I think it is possible, don't know if it would be completely reliable but my approach would be using a virtual meter. I would trigger the rule with both sensors in motion, however the sensors would have to be configured to update very quickly so you could see two persons walking behind each other. This rule would add 1 each time you see both sensors in motion state. Another way would be using variables, setting a variable to 1, for example, everytime both sensors detect motion, then to add one to the virtual meter and reset this variable. I guess it is matter for testing it.

I agree with Alberto, the sensor has to retrigger very fast, not ideal for battery sensors. And as he mentions not reliable when 2 people are walking directly behind one another. Doing this with the fibaro sensor would see its battery lifespan drop to months if not weeks. Typical Fibaro show casing a pretty function, but not very practical. You could try a 3in1 or 4in1 Zipato sensor on each side of the door, and with a little soldering connect a 3V driver to power them.

thanks for your comment. but can anyone help me to build that program

There are things that Fibaro demonstrates in a video or in pictures as possible aplication that is not yet working...

No way, with actual PIR sensors you never will be able to count people accurately. Wait to see sensors based on image analysis and face recognition. Just my oppinion

Yep, Agree with you.

I agree totally with you all. People counting is not an exact science for this. You could also use IR beams to detect people crossing a line better, but no way of knowing the direction of travel. Otherwise specialized Camera systems would be best, and a way to get the data and then transmit it to a virtual meter.
