Gooee Creates World’s Smallest Sensor for LED lighting and IoT

Smart lighting ecosystem provider Gooee has created the world’s smallest sensor for LED lighting and the Internet of Things (IoT). The sensor includes the latest Artificial Eye technology following an exclusive agreement with Delta Microelectronics, a European leader in fabless ASIC design, sensor systems, lighting and optics.

The agreement creates in effect a new “standard” in sensing, data and control for the LED lighting industry, and sees Gooee becoming the sole provider of this new, innovative Opto-ASIC technology to luminaire manufacturers. It also follows Gooee’s announcement of the exclusive partnership with EVRYTHNG’s IoT cloud platform, enabling Gooee to operate tens of millions of intelligent light endpoints in a global network.

With multiple environmental, human and LED performance sensing capabilities, the advanced ASIC will be able to detect motion, direction, ambient light, LED colour temperature (CCT) variance, LED lux variance and ASIC operating temperature – all packaged in a 5 x 5mm chip.
A step closer to connecting LED lighting manufacturers to the IoT with its unique ‘Full-Stack’ operating platform, Gooee has partnered with DELTA to focus on co-engineering and further developing more advanced sensing capabilities:

“At present we are only scratching the surface in terms of what this chip can do,” says Gooee CTO Simon Coombes. “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 is also co-developing a new Bluetooth meshing protocol with a major wireless IC provider. This technology, along with the other on-premise components of Gooee’s ecosystem, will allow light fixtures to communicate two-way, enabling control, sensing, human engagement and asset tracking, all fully integrated into its enterprise cloud platform.
