Limitless Potential | Creatrol 24GHz MAX Human Presence Sensor

In smart home and office projects, standard sensors often fall short when facing large open-plan living rooms (>50 m²), long conference rooms, or open-plan offices:

• Restricted Coverage: Standard radars typically have a stationary detection diameter of only ~6 meters, leaving significant blind spots in large rooms.
• Installation Complexity: To cover the entire area, multiple sensors are often required. This doubles wiring costs and necessitates complex debugging to avoid signal crosstalk between radars.
• Signal Decay at Distance: As distance increases, weak breathing signals are easily drowned out by environmental noise, leading to "false-offs" for occupants sitting in corners.

Large spaces demand a more powerful sensing architecture.

Through physical hardware scaling and deep algorithmic iterations, Creatrol Sensor officially introduces:
24GHz MAX mmWave Radar Presence Sensor.

It breaks the physical constraints of detection distance, simultaneously elevating both motion and stationary detection ranges to 10 meters—truly achieving "one device to control the entire hall."

The "MAX" Physical Evolution

The MAX series moves away from the ultra-compact 35mm cutout of the Mini series in favor of a 55mm cutout design. This is not just an aesthetic change; it is a performance-driven necessity.

• Superior Signal Capture: Capturing a faint breathing signal from 10 meters away pushes micro-antennas to their physical limits. The MAX series features a re-engineered high-gain large array antenna. The increased physical surface area provides significantly higher sensitivity and a better Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)—the hardware foundation for 10-meter stationary sensing.
• Optimized Interference Shielding: The increased internal volume allows for a superior RF circuit layout, increasing the isolation between transmit and receive antennas. This physically reduces clutter and ensures a purer signal.

Core Advantages

80 m² Coverage Area: With a 10m detection diameter, a single MAX sensor covers nearly 80 m². In a standard luxury villa living room or a large boardroom, one device is all you need—no stacking required.

• CPU & Algorithm Upgrade: While hardware provides the power, our upgraded high-frequency, large-memory core provides the intelligence. Enhanced with the CTL Hawkeye Algorithm, performance is significantly more robust.
• Long-Range Breathing Lock: Specialized signal enhancement for the 6–10 meter zone ensures that an occupant sitting at the far end of the room remains locked in the system.
• Advanced Noise Filtering: Large spaces often have complex airflow and ambient noise. The MAX algorithm optimizes SNR analysis at long distances to effectively filter out false alarms.
• Precision Constant-Illuminance: Built-in professional digital light sensor (0–32,000 Lux) enables active constant-illuminance control. It automatically supplements light only when natural light is insufficient, maximizing comfort while minimizing energy waste.

Application Scenarios

The "Iron Triangle" of FMCW mmWave + Digital Light Sensing + Hawkeye Algorithm delivers superior performance in expansive environments:

• Whole-Home Smart Control: Effortlessly covers grand living rooms, including sofa areas, TV zones, and corridors. Whether you are reading on the sofa or organizing in a corner, the sensor accurately identifies true presence, enabling a seamless and comfortable smart home experience through precise device linkage.
• Offices: Perfectly covers long conference tables or open-plan workstations. It precisely detects seated personnel and utilizes the built-in digital light sensor for constant-illuminance control. Lights are automatically turned off once the area is vacant, ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency.
• Smart Hotel Guestrooms: Specifically designed for large executive suites or elevator lobbies to ensure zero-blind-spot detection. It triggers "Welcome Mode" the moment a guest enters, significantly enhancing energy management and the premium guest experience.
• Spatial Data Analytics: Tracks personnel dwell time across different zones, providing data-driven support for optimizing office layouts and commercial traffic flow (customer circulation) design.
• Classrooms & Libraries: Covers expansive teaching and study areas. It ensures continuous lighting during prolonged stationary study sessions and automatically adjusts brightness based on the natural light variance between window-side and wall-side areas to protect students' eyesight.
• Smart Security: Operates 24/7 with high-precision detection of micro-vibrations and unauthorized intrusions. When the premises are unoccupied, it can be linked to alarm systems to instantly alert management and deter intruders.

Detection Range

At a 3.0m mounting height, the diameter for both motion and stationary detection is ≥ Ø 10.0m.

Version Descriptions

Tuya Version

The sensor integrates into the global Tuya IoT ecosystem via ZigBee/WiFi. Users can effortlessly add devices, configure scenes, and manage operations remotely via the app, ensuring flexible deployment.

Beyond simple device linkage, the app provides real-time visibility into activity and bed occupancy (in-bed/out-of-bed) status. If a fall or prolonged inactivity is detected, alerts are pushed to the smartphone within milliseconds, breaking spatial limitations.

Seamless automation with a vast array of Tuya-compatible devices (e.g., lights, sockets, curtain motors) makes it ideal for smart homes, hotels, and smart commercial installations.
