Connected lighting specialist, Gooee has claimed to have created the world’s smallest sensor for LED lighting and the Internet of Things (IoT) that now includes the latest Artificial Eye technology following an exclusive agreement with DELTA Microelectronics.
The agreement creates a new ‘standard’ in sensing, data and control for the LED lighting industry, and sees Gooee becoming the sole provider of this Opto-ASIC technology to luminaire manufacturers. It also follows Gooee’s announcement of the exclusive partnership with EVRYTHNG’s IoT cloud platform, enabling it to operate tens of millions of intelligent light endpoints in a global network.
The 5 x 5mm chip boasts multiple environmental, human and LED performance sensing capabilities, the ASIC is said to detect motion, direction, ambient light, LED colour temperature variance, LED lux variance and ASIC operating temperature.
A step closer to connecting LED lighting manufacturers to the IoT with its ‘Full-Stack’ operating platform, Gooee has partnered with DELTA to focus on co-engineering and further developing more advanced sensing capabilities.
Simon Coombes Gooee’s CTO, said: “At present we are only scratching the surface in terms of what this chip can do. We are working on some really incredible functionality that will give Gooee and its customers a significant competitive advantage in sensing for the IoT.”
Gooee says it is also co-developing a Bluetooth meshing protocol with a major Wireless IC provider. This technology, along with the other on-premise components of Gooee's ecosystem, is said to allow light fixtures to communicate two-way, enabling control, sensing, human engagement and asset tracking.
