Logitech sales boomed during the pandemic as people decked out their home offices in the latest trendy logitech gear, and it’s now even getting a piece of the hybrid workplace with teleconferencing gear too. But Logitech’s also got a little-known corporate office management solution that could soon expand beyond conference rooms using a pebble-shaped person detection device called the 'Logitech Spot'.
It’s a millimeter-wave radar sensor you can peel and stick up anywhere, letting companies invisibly see whether people are in a room. It’s not just a radar sensor; it also measures particulates, VOCs, CO2, temperature, pressure, and humidity, so your company can get a health score for any given room.
This device isn't meant to stalk you but more so for companies to know whether workers are actually using their office space and which rooms get used as they make decisions about downsizing those offices, issuing return-to-office mandates, or reconfiguring them for hybrid work.
Our sources at Logitech say they could also automate all sorts of things and generate all types of insights. Things as simple as extending your room reservation if people are still using the room or fixing the bad air quality or energy efficiency in a particular location. Or things as fancy as detecting whether a particular person has entered a particular room and setting their preferred temperature. Our sources also say you can use multiple spots for larger rooms to help monitor temperature differentials, too.
What do you think? Would you give it a shot or do you find the device to be an invasion of privacy? let us know by DM'ing us on socials @YMSRadio!
