This white plastic ceiling-mounted motion sensor is a native Revit family designed for automated lighting and HVAC control systems. The sensor features a minimalist, circular housing finished in a clean white plastic. Its low-profile design is engineered to sit flush against standard ceiling finishes, maintaining a discreet aesthetic in commercial or residential interiors. The central dome houses the infrared detection lens, which provides a wide-angle field of view for occupancy monitoring. A small secondary indicator light is positioned on the outer rim to provide visual feedback for active detection states. The geometry is simple and lightweight, ensuring it does not clutter the reflected ceiling plan while providing essential functionality.
The download is a 328 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
As a ceiling-hosted Revit family, this component snaps directly to ceiling planes or soffits during placement. Users can leverage the native parameter set to manage mounting height and detection range, ensuring accurate coverage in coordination with lighting layouts. The model is optimized for high-performance BIM workflows, allowing for easy scheduling within electrical equipment lists. Its clean geometry ensures minimal impact on project file size while maintaining a professional appearance in both 2D reflected ceiling plans and 3D architectural visualisations.
