A micro-motion occupancy sensor system monitors for a presence of a person in a room, in different monitoring modes, to regulate power delivery to the room. The micro-motion occupancy sensor has a multimode lens for receiving passive infrared (IR) energy and focusing the IR energy as a series of IR beams, a pyroelectric detector to receive the focused IR beams and generate an electrical signal, a processing circuit to amplify, filter and processes the electrical signal to generate an interrupt signal and an analog output signal and a controller that receives and processes the interrupt signal and the analog output signal to determine whether a person has entered a room or is maintaining their presence within the room. The controller controls the processing in a vacant mode where a person's presence is not detected and in an occupied mode when a person's presence has been detected.
A micro-motion occupancy sensor system that monitors for a presence of a person in a room, in different monitoring modes, to regulate power delivery to the room, the system comprising:
