Private Context for Home Intelligence
QuickSet® homeSense is a breakthrough software solution that transforms any smart device into an adaptive, environment-aware home sensor—without adding hardware or relying on external smart home platforms. By turning existing radios, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and signals in a device into meaningful environmental insights, homeSense enables devices to understand occupancy, presence, patterns and anomalies, and use that intelligence to deliver deeply personalized and efficient user experiences.
Built as part of the QuickSet® 7 SDK, homeSense introduces a new generation of privacy-first, on-device intelligence that learns from the home environment in real time. Devices become smarter over days and weeks, building short- and long-term memory, recognizing behavioral patterns, and adapting automatically to real-world changes.
Intelligence Powered by the Home Itself
QuickSet homeSense uses on-device processing to fuse signals from existing radios and local interfaces. Unlike multi-point sensing approaches, once homeSense is installed on a device, it immediately starts delivering intelligent home occupancy and presence events as a single point implementation. homeSense can also be extended to ingest and fuse data from external hardware sensors and multi-point wireless sensing technologies, including Wi-Fi Sensing, to deliver a holistic and targetable understanding of the home.
With homeSense IQ, devices gain predictive capabilities—anticipating user needs, detecting irregular behavior, and enabling proactive features without relying on cloud processing or user intervention.
A Foundation for Context-aware Smart Home Devices
Understanding occupancy, presence, and behavioral patterns is becoming essential to how next-generation smart devices support comfort, energy efficiency, security, and entertainment. QuickSet homeSense enables this intelligence across a wide variety of devices, from smart TVs and thermostats to set-top boxes and broadband gateways.
Transforming Experiences Across Key Domains
Entertainment
homeSense gives entertainment devices a new level of awareness—detecting occupancy, room presence, and individual users to deliver:
Always-on and always-relevant content discovery
Personalized user interfaces and recommendations
Higher engagement and monetization for Connected TV platforms
Because it is a software-only, on-device solution, homeSense can be deployed globally across both new and existing generations of smart TVs and streaming devices.
Energy Management & Home Automation
Smart energy experiences depend on understanding how people actually live. With homeSense, devices can:
Learn home schedules and adjust settings automatically
Optimize HVAC behavior based on whole-home occupancy, not just nearby sensors
Recognize who is home and tailor comfort experiences accordingly
Detect holidays, vacations, or irregular days without user involvement
This enables utilities and device makers to deliver reliable, user-friendly demand response solutions without requiring additional sensors, mobile apps, or geo-fencing.
Designed for Real Homes—Not Ideal Conditions
Homes vary widely in network technology, hardware, mobile app usage, and ecosystem participation. QuickSet homeSense is built to work everywhere:
Runs locally on the device — Smart TV, thermostat, set-top box, gateway
Single Point & Not dependent on specific Wi-Fi standards, mesh systems, or router vendors
Does not require mobile apps or geo-fencing permissions
Does not depend on third-party smart home hubs or occupancy signals
Requires no new sensing hardware
This makes homeSense the most practical and scalable way to deliver occupancy-aware and presence-aware experiences across diverse homes and markets.
Software-Only. Privacy-First. Universally Deployable.
QuickSet homeSense enables device manufacturers and service providers to deploy advanced home intelligence broadly, cost-effectively, and responsibly. Because intelligence is processed on the device, user data stays in the home—supporting privacy while enabling high-value, personalized features.
The Future of Smart Home Intelligence Has Arrived
QuickSet homeSense represents a major evolution in how devices understand and respond to the home environment. By combining machine learning, multi-signal fusion, and predictive intelligence—all running on-device—it opens new possibilities for comfort, energy savings, security, and entertainment on billions of devices already in consumers’ homes.
