The Clapper walked, so SpaceSense could run. From smart-lighting company Wiz, SpaceSense uses Wi-Fi sensing technology to turn lights on when someone is in a room, and off when it's empty—but there are still a few kinks to work out.
I switched to a single router and reconfigured it, but my living room lights were too close together, so it did not work in that room. The hall, where this motion sensing would be most useful only worked when I turned the sensitivity to the max, and even then, it was inconsistent. If I walked through the hall, the lights often came on just as I reached the end.
SpaceSense worked best in the dining room and kitchen—but again, I had to ramp up the sensitivity to get it working consistently, which meant my cats triggered the lights too. On the flip side, it also proved very annoying when the light would turn off if you were in the room but weren't moving much, like when I was sitting at the table working, peeling potatoes, or doing the dishes.
After some tweaking in the Wiz V2 app, SpaceSense began working a little bit better, but the app is still buggy. Sometimes it failed to save settings I changed, and there was often a delay between me tapping something and the light reacting. If anyoneSpaceSense could be worthwhile in large office buildings, windowless bathrooms, and for folks who struggle with regular switches.
trigger lights, but SpaceSense is better for privacy, since nothing is recorded, and all the processing takes place locally.Wi-Fi router , the construction of your home, and the placement and number of Wiz lights you have. But for now, the inconvenience of lights not switching on immediately and turning off when I’m still in the room outweighs the inconvenience of flicking a switch.
