SparkFun Human Presence and Motion Sensor - STHS34PF80 (Qwiic)
All prices are VAT included
The STHS34PF80 sensor, from [ST Microelectronics](https://www.st.com/
), is designed to measure the precise [black-body radiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation) *(as described by [Planck\'s law](https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_law))* of an object; as well as monitor ambient temperature conditions within its 80° field of view. The sensor is composed of a matrix of floating vacuum thermal MOS transistors split into two parts, one exposed to IR radiation and the other one shielded. The differential reading between the segments, allows the sensor to remove self-heating effects. The STHS34PF80 also incorporates algorithms to detect and discriminate between stationary and moving objects. These features enable the sensor to work as a human presence and motion sensor in different applications such as alarm systems, anti-intruder systems, smart lighting, and room occupancy.
The sensor can operate in multiple lighting conditions and is unaffected by visible light or other bands thanks to the 5 to 20µm optical band-pass filter. The STHS34PF80 has an output data rates between 0.25 to 30 Hz and an available single-shot, which are accessed through its I²C/SPI interface.

*The [SparkFun Qwiic Connect System](https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic) is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can't hook it up wrong.*
