Smart Door Lock

A commercial property management company implemented our advanced PIR sensor technology to create an intelligent lighting system that enhances energy efficiency and improves user experience across multiple buildings.

Smart Door Lock Solutions

Smart door locks are widely used in residential buildings, apartments, offices, hotels, and rental properties. Compared with traditional mechanical locks, smart locks integrate electronic control systems to enable password, card, fingerprint, or mobile-based access.

In many smart lock designs, PIR motion sensors from Senba Sensing are integrated to support human detection and automatic wake-up functions. These sensing components help improve user interaction while maintaining low standby power consumption, which is important for battery-powered systems.

Smart Door Lock Application

How It Works

A typical smart door lock system includes:

  • PIR motion sensor

  • Light sensor (optional, depending on design)

  • Main control unit (MCU)

  • Keypad, fingerprint, or display module

  • Lock actuator mechanism

  • Battery power management module

When a person approaches the door, the PIR sensor detects motion within its sensing range and sends a signal to the control unit. The system then exits sleep mode and activates the keypad, display, or fingerprint module.

In low-light environments, a light sensor can assist in controlling keypad or display backlighting to improve visibility while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

Sensor Functions in Smart Lock Designs

Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensors

Senba Sensing PIR motion sensors are used in smart locks to:

  • Detect approaching users

  • Trigger automatic system wake-up

  • Activate keypad or display backlighting

  • Reduce overall power consumption by keeping the system in standby mode until motion is detected

Because smart locks are typically powered by batteries, low operating current is an important requirement. PIR sensors are suitable for this type of indoor detection application due to their stable performance and low power characteristics.

Ambient Light Sensors / Photoresistors

Ambient light sensing components are used in some smart lock designs to:

  • Control keypad or display illumination automatically

  • Activate backlighting only under low ambient light conditions

  • Improve user visibility at night

  • Help reduce unnecessary power usage during daytime

Typical Application Scenarios

Smart door locks integrating sensing components from Senba Sensing are commonly used in:

  • Residential entrance doors

  • Apartment buildings

  • Office access control systems

  • Hotel room locks

  • Rental property access systems

Design Characteristics

Smart lock products using Senba Sensing sensing components typically feature:

  • Automatic wake-up upon human approach

  • Low standby power consumption

  • Compact internal integration

  • Stable indoor motion detection

  • Compatibility with battery-powered designs

Application Value

By integrating PIR motion detection into smart lock systems, manufacturers can reduce standby energy consumption while maintaining responsive user interaction.

Sensing components from Senba Sensing are widely applied in smart lock designs due to their compact structure and suitability for indoor electronic security products.
