Yealink RoomSensor
The Yealink RoomSensor is a discreet, high‑performance occupancy sensor designed to work hand in hand with Yealink RoomPanel to simplify and optimize the way you manage conference rooms. By leveraging passive infrared (PIR) sensing and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, RoomSensor delivers real‑time occupancy updates and enables smart, occupancy‑driven booking right from the RoomPanel display. This compact device disappears into the background of your meeting spaces, yet it plays a critical role in reducing scheduling conflicts, cutting energy waste, and speeding up check‑ins. With RoomSensor, your conference rooms become more responsive to how they are actually used, so you can focus on productive collaboration rather than administrative guesswork.
- The Yealink RoomSensor automatically communicates occupancy status to the RoomPanel via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ensuring fast, reliable updates without the need for complex wiring or dedicated gateways. Once paired, it creates a seamless flow of occupancy data that feeds directly into room calendars, status indicators, and booking displays, so every user sees an accurate picture of current room availability. This BLE integration also minimizes setup time for IT teams and reduces the risk of connectivity issues that can slow down meetings.
- Powered by passive infrared (PIR) sensing, RoomSensor detects presence in the room or in key access zones with privacy‑conscious technology. PIR sensing focuses on heat signatures and motion within a defined area, providing dependable occupancy signals while avoiding intrusive video or image capture. This approach yields reliable updates for scheduling decisions, helps prevent “phantom” holds, and supports energy‑saving automation by signaling when a room is truly in use.
- Smart booking enhancements come standard with RoomSensor. Occupancy data from the sensor informs RoomPanel’s scheduling logic, enabling features like automatic room status updates, smarter hold times, and more accurate buffer periods between meetings. The result is tighter room utilization, fewer double bookings, and a smoother flow from planning to execution—so teams spend less time managing calendars and more time collaborating.
- No extra hub or gateway is required. RoomSensor is designed for plug‑and‑play integration with Yealink RoomPanel, minimizing IT overhead and installation complexity. It works wirelessly through BLE and integrates directly with the RoomPanel ecosystem, helping you avoid additional networking hardware while preserving a clean, clutter‑free conference room environment.
- Discreet, adaptable installation for various spaces. The compact form factor of RoomSensor makes it suitable for mounting on walls or near entryways where occupancy signals are most reliable. Its understated design blends with modern meeting rooms, and installation can be completed quickly with standard mounting options, allowing facilities teams to deploy multiple sensors across a workspace without drawing attention away from the room itself.

How to install Yealink RoomSensor
Installing Yealink RoomSensor is designed to be a straightforward, IT‑friendly process that minimizes disruption to daily operations. Begin with planning placement to maximize occupancy detection while preserving the room’s privacy and aesthetics. Next, power on the sensor and verify that your RoomPanel is ready to pair. The pairing and activation steps are purposefully simple so even non‑technical staff can complete the setup with confidence. After installation, perform a quick test to confirm that RoomSensor reliably reports presence, and that the RoomPanel display updates accordingly.
- Prepare the RoomPanel environment: Ensure the RoomPanel is installed, powered, and that Bluetooth LE is enabled. Confirm that the RoomPanel is on the same network domain or wireless domain as other Yealink RoomPanel devices for consistent data flow. Clear any existing occupancy signals to avoid mixed data during the initial pairing.
- Position RoomSensor for reliable detection: Mount the sensor at a location that captures typical movement and occupancy without being obstructed by furniture or doorways. Common placements include near the entry to the room or in a central ceiling location that covers the main seating area. Avoid placing the sensor behind doors or in areas with strong heat sources that could cause false readings.
- Pair with RoomPanel: Power the RoomSensor and initiate pairing from the RoomPanel’s device setup section. Select the new sensor from the list of available devices and complete the BLE pairing process. Once paired, the RoomPanel should indicate the sensor is online and start receiving occupancy signals. If pairing fails, re‑attempt with the sensor within range and verify BLE is enabled on the RoomPanel.
- Test the occupancy flow: After pairing, simulate room use (enter the room, sit down, then leave) and observe the RoomPanel status update in real time. Confirm that occupancy indicators reflect actual usage and that the scheduling display adapts to changes in occupancy automatically. If discrepancies occur, re‑check placement and signal strength and re‑pair if necessary.
- Maintain and monitor: Periodically verify sensor placement and battery or power status as applicable, and ensure firmware on RoomPanel and RoomSensor remains up to date. Establish a routine check to confirm the occupancy data continues to align with room usage, and adjust placement if the room’s layout changes or if there are new meeting patterns.
Frequently asked questions
