Occupancy measurement
The type of sensor in a sensoring system determines how occupancy is measured.
A sensoring system can either:
• Detect occupancy (returns 0 or 1, the equivalent of no/yes)
• Count occupancy (returns a digit or a number)
This information, when returned by the connector, is stored in the Planon application. The API version determines how and where this information is stored in the Planon application.
