Sentistic, a Netherlands-based smart-building innovator, is debuting its breakthrough AI technology at CES Las Vegas 2026, turning ordinary motion sensors into intelligent, privacy-first devices that understand how spaces are truly used.
For more than three decades, motion sensors have done one job — switch lights on and off. Sentistic changes that. By embedding real-time Edge AI directly inside any PIR motion sensor, the company enables sensors to interpret infrared data anonymously, enhancing performance and extending their capabilities far beyond lighting control.
“Buildings waste enormous amounts of energy because motion sensors only detect motion without context,” said Justin Groot, Founder & CEO of Sentistic. “Sentistic gives every motion sensor vision — reducing false triggers, optimizing energy use, and revealing how people actually interact with spaces.”
Built to fit anywhere, anytime, and any protocol, Sentistic’s software layer integrates easily into existing building infrastructure and scales infinitely through global partnerships across the lighting and controls industry.
Real-world pilots already show impact across multiple sectors:
Retail: At one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, Sentistic-enabled luminaires deliver insights into customer flow and space utilization while lowering energy use.
Corporate offices: At one of the world’s leading luxury brands, Sentistic-enabled sensors optimize workspace availability, enhance comfort, and reduce energy costs.
“Every building can be smarter — not by adding more devices, but by allowing existing infrastructure to be utilized intelligently,” added Groot. “That’s the power of Sentistic.”
Sentistic’s solution is built around three core pillars — Sense, Influence, and Evolve — ensuring privacy-first sensing, actionable intelligence, and continuous feature upgrades without hardware swaps. With hundreds of millions of motion sensors installed globally each year, the company sees massive potential to scale sustainability and human-centric building performance worldwide.
Get a first glimpse of Sentistic at CES Unveiled Europe, held at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on October 28, and experience how Sentistic-enabled motion sensors are always improving spaces.
