Subject: C1001 (SEN0623) — Is posture data available in fall detection mode?
refael 2026-08-02 21:31:29 12 Views0 Replies Hi,
I'm using the C1001 in fall detection mode (eFallingMode) with the DFRobot_HumanDetection library on an ESP32.
The product description states that the sensor "recognizes human postures through point cloud imaging algorithms" and can detect standing, sitting and lying. However, in fall detection mode the library only exposes:
smHumanData(eHumanPresence)smHumanData(eHumanMovement) — None/Still/ActivesmHumanData(eHumanMovingRange)getFallData(eFallState)getFallData(estaticResidencyState)There is no posture output (standing / sitting / lying).
My questions:
Does the sensor internally compute posture in fall detection mode, and is there a UART command or register that exposes it — even if the library doesn't wrap it?If not, is the posture recognition mentioned in the product description only available in sleep mode (eSleepMode)?My use case: detecting a person who slides down slowly (legs give way, gradual descent) rather than falling fast. The fall flag doesn't trigger for slow descents. I want to distinguish "lying on the floor" from "sitting still in an armchair" — without posture data both look identical to my logic.Is there any recommended approach for this with the C1001?
Thanks!
