  • Wireless motion detectors have low power consumption
    Motion detectors have become ubiquitous in homes and workplaces as a form of protection, and as a means of triggering light sources indoors and out. However, these detectors need wires to function, making their installation laborious as well as costly. The good news is that this is all about to change. ABB, in cooperation with one of its partners, has developed a wireless motion detector.
