IR Proximity Sensor

An IR proximity sensor (Infrared Proximity Sensor) is an electronic component that non‑contactly detects whether an object is approaching or present by emitting and receiving infrared light.

Features

Why This Isn't a Normal Motion Sensor
Most motion sensors detect you from across the room — 5 meters away, 120° field of view. That's great for hallways and security systems. But in a cramped cabinet? Under a sink? Beside the bed at 2 AM? They trigger too early, or not at all, or wake up your partner when you don't need them to.

The Ceshhome IR sensor is different. Its detection range is intentionally short — just 5 to 7 centimeters (about 2–3 inches) . It only activates when you're right there, reaching for it.

Why short range works better for small spaces:

No false triggers — Walking past the cabinet won't turn the light on

No unwanted illumination — Only lights up exactly when you need it

Privacy where it matters — In bedrooms, the sensor only responds when you're close

Battery‑sipping efficiency — The sensor itself draws minimal power, and paired with the smart outlet, your lights and devices stay off 99% of the time
