Very easy to understand great job

I’d like to use a photoelectric sensor to create an occupancy sensor for a room….could I use two diffuse sensors next to each other…to capture direction of motion (if A detects and then B, add 1….if B detects and then A, subtract 1). If so, are diffuse sensors a good option for a doorway mount or is the detection area too short? Would you recommend a set of two retro reflectives instead? I’d want to house them both side by side in the same housing….for ease of mounting.

Hi,can you suggest me which type of sensor can use for sensing the dark colour ex.Violet,black,blue.

[@franzferre9957]

A time of flight sensor, or CMOS laser sensor will work well. Omron E3AS-F for time of flight, and E3AS-HL for CMOS laser.
