Types of Wardrobe Sensor Available in India
Single Door Cabinet Sensor — IR Beam Type
The Esysense single door cabinet sensor uses an IR (infrared) beam pair — one emitter and one receiver — mounted on either side of the cabinet door frame. When the door opens and breaks the IR beam, the sensor triggers the connected LED strip or light inside the cabinet. When the door closes and restores the beam, the light switches off instantly.
The IR cabinet sensor India is the simplest and most reliable wardrobe automation solution. It requires 12V DC power from the included adapter and is compatible with any 12V LED strip light. Installation requires no drilling into cabinet interiors — only a surface-mount bracket on the door frame.
Double Door Cabinet Sensor — ESY-M23 (Esysense's Best-Seller)
The ESY-M23 double door cabinet sensor by Esysense is India's most popular wardrobe automation product for a reason: it solves the two-door almirah problem perfectly. Traditional Indian bedroom almirahs have two doors — and a standard single-door sensor only handles one. The ESY-M23 has dual IR sensors — one for each door — so the interior light activates when either door is opened and switches off only when both doors are fully closed.
The ESY-M23 is compatible with single-door wardrobes too — simply connect only one sensor pair if your wardrobe has a single door. The dual-sensor design makes it the more future-proof choice regardless of your current wardrobe configuration.
PIR Cabinet Sensor — Motion Detection Inside the Wardrobe
Unlike IR beam sensors that detect the door opening, a PIR cabinet sensor detects movement inside the wardrobe — your hand reaching in to select clothes. This makes it useful for open-shelf wardrobes and display cabinets where there is no door to trigger an IR beam. The PIR sensor mounts inside the cabinet, facing the interior, and activates the LED strip when it detects hand or body movement within the shelf area.
Cabinet Sensor with Dimmer and Touch Dimmer Switch India
The cabinet sensor with dimmer adds brightness control to wardrobe lighting — you can set the LED strip to 20%, 50%, or 100% brightness depending on the time of day and your preference. This is especially useful for wardrobes in bedrooms where full-brightness activation at night may be disruptive.
The Esysense touch sensor with dimmer is a sleek capacitive touch surface that replaces the standard push button. A single tap toggles the light on and off; a long press dims or brightens the LED strip smoothly. The touch dimmer switch India is a premium addition for modular wardrobes and display cabinets.
Wardrobe Switches and Push-Type Wardrobe Switch
The Esysense push-type wardrobe switch is a mechanical door-contact switch that activates the interior light when the door is pressed against it (closed position = switch off, open position = switch on). It is the simplest and lowest-cost wardrobe lighting trigger — no electronics, no sensors, just a physical switch contact. It suits basic almirah and cabinet upgrades where sensor-level sophistication is not required.
Installing an Automatic Wardrobe Light in India — Step by Step
1. Choose your sensor type: IR beam sensor for door-triggered activation, PIR for motion-triggered activation inside the cabinet.
2. Select your LED strip: 12V DC, length = sum of all shelves you want to illuminate.
3. Connect the sensor output terminal to the LED strip input.
4. Plug the 12V adapter into the wall socket.
5. Open the wardrobe door — the light should activate.
6. Close the door — the light should switch off.
The entire installation takes 15–20 minutes with a screwdriver and basic tools. No electrician required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a wardrobe sensor and how does it work?
A: A wardrobe sensor uses an IR beam, PIR motion sensor, or door-contact switch to detect when a wardrobe is opened. When triggered, it activates the LED light inside the cabinet. When the door is closed, the light switches off automatically. No manual switches are needed.
Q: What is the ESY-M23 double door cabinet sensor?
A: The ESY-M23 is Esysense's dual IR sensor for two-door wardrobes and almirahs. It has independent sensors for each door — the interior light comes on when either door is opened and goes off only when both doors are closed. It is India's bestselling automatic wardrobe light controller.
Q: Can I install a wardrobe sensor in my existing almirah?
A: Yes. The Esysense IR cabinet sensor India mounts on the door frame of any existing almirah, wardrobe, or storage cabinet using surface-mount brackets or adhesive. No drilling into the cabinet interior is needed.
