The button unit 1033 is used for parameter setting; for example, the button unit can be a touch switch, which is used for device initialization and network configuration (press and hold for 5 seconds after powering on to enter the network configuration state; press and hold for 10 seconds after powering on to restore the device to the initialization state). The indicator light unit 1034 is used for status display, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, the MCU module detects the ambient temperature and change data through an infrared array sensor, and analyzes the indoor population density after processing by the MCU's software algorithm.
