Las Vegas, NV – CES 2026 – As AI and data centers scale rapidly, energy has become the real constraint. One of the most overlooked aspects of this challenge is how efficiently we use the electricity we already produce. At CES 2026, Sentistic today announced Sentistic Pulse, a software solution designed to reduce unnecessary energy use in buildings by enhancing how motion sensors interpret occupancy and operate lighting and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Airconditioning) systems.
With tens of millions of motion sensors deployed every year, software-level improvements that integrate into existing sensors can have a meaningful impact on how efficiently energy is used across today’s building infrastructure.
Sentistic Pulse fits into any motion sensor, improving performance through software and delivering up to 25% additional energy savings, while also improving comfort.
Why energy is often used longer than needed
To avoid turning lights or HVAC off too soon, motion sensors typically wait longer than necessary before switching systems off.
The result:
Systems stay on even after people leave
Energy use increases to maintain comfort
How Sentistic Pulse solves this
Sentistic Pulse improves how motion sensors interpret occupancy, allowing systems to respond to real presence rather than conservative delays.
Lighting and HVAC: Only when required
Lights stay on when people are present and turn off sooner when spaces are empty
HVAC responds to actual occupancy, not fixed safety delays
No waving to retrigger the lights
Comfort is improved, not compromised
A scalable opportunity to use energy better
By reducing unnecessary runtime, Sentistic Pulse enables more efficient use of electricity already produced, one of the fastest ways to relieve pressure on the energy system as AI continues to scale.
Sentistic is already working with multiple motion sensor OEMs and brands on integration, highlighting strong industry interest in scalable, software-based efficiency improvements.
“With energy becoming the real constraint behind AI growth, efficiency matters more than ever,” said Justin Groot, Founder & CEO of Sentistic. “Sentistic Pulse is designed to deliver that efficiency at scale.”
CES 2026 Announcement
Sentistic Pulse was announced at CES 2026, at the Dutch Pavilion, Eureka Park, Booth 62100.
First public demonstrations will be shown at Light + Building in Frankfurt in March.
