Stellar Sensors
Actionable Intelligence — Built Into the LightLighting is the backbone of industrial IoT. Stellar Sensors turn fixtures and zones into a live data layer—so facility and ops teams act on what’s happening, not what they guess.
Standard Sensor Package
Flexible Deployment
Plug & Play with Stellar Command modules
Stand-alone mode with 10-year battery life
Open API — connect to any BMS or third-party system
Edge Analytics for low-latency alerts and anomaly detection
EXPANDED MONITORING
Additional sensors for industrial and agricultural environments.
Beyond standard environmental monitoring, we support specialized sensors tailored to your operations.
All extended sensors integrate directly with Stellar Command for unified dashboards, alerts, and historical analytics.
Add rich data to every fixture or zone.
Why the lighting backbone
Most buildings already run power and mounting points across every aisle and zone. Stellar uses that footprint as the backbone of industrial IoT: place sensing where the work happens, stream data into Stellar Command, and turn passive lighting into an intelligence layer.
This page is about sensors and data you can use. Fixture photometrics and layouts stay on their own pages. For radio-free sites, sensors and wireless are optional - ask about the no-radio path when required.
Data clients collect - and why
- Occupancy / motion - Presence by zone or aisle; see busy versus idle areas and support safety, staffing, and lighting-runtime conversations.
- Ambient light - Light level at the sensor; support daylight-aware dimming and verify designed light levels.
- Temperature - Spot HVAC imbalance, protect product and people, and correlate heat with equipment zones.
- Humidity - Protect moisture-sensitive storage and flag corrosion or comfort issues.
- VOCs and gases - Air-quality indicators for occupied zones when ventilation is not keeping up.
- PM2.5 - Fine particulate visibility for dust and air-quality conversations.
- Barometric pressure - Local pressure context for enclosed spaces.
- Vibration / IMU - Predictive-maintenance cues before downtime.
- Energy / zone load - Operational visibility through Stellar Command, without invented savings percentages.
Who it is for
- Facility managers - Warehouses, plants, and hangars: zone activity, environment, and equipment signals.
- Office managers and property admins - Comfort, occupancy patterns, and light-level verification.
- Ops and maintenance - Earlier visibility into vibration and environmental drift.
Sense -> Stream -> Act
- Sense at the fixture or zone.
- Stream into Stellar Command.
- Act with dashboards, alerts, and BMS or API handoff.
Frequently asked questions
Do sensors require smart fixtures everywhere?
Sensors are part of the Stellar intelligent stack. Sites that cannot allow wireless radios should tell us up front; we can keep a separate radio-free lighting conversation.
Is this the same as photometric design?
No. Photometrics design how much light and where fixtures go. Sensors report what is happening in the live building. Photometric design is a separate paid layout service.
Will this page quote energy savings percentages?
No. We describe the data and the decisions it supports - not invented savings math.
