Real-time Home Occupancy Detection with S2

This article details a real-time home occupancy detection system built using an AMG8833 infrared thermal imaging sensor, a Raspberry Pi, and the S2 streaming data platform. The system streams sensor data to S2, which is then used by a Next.js frontend to display a live heatmap. Simple image processing determines occupancy. S2's low cost and ease of use make this a budget-friendly solution, costing around $2 per month.
