The present disclosure provides systems and methods for improved occupancy sensing. The methods and systems can deploy various signal threshold adjustments and/or signal analysis algorithms in response to sensed signals having a given quality, such as exceeding a threshold. In some cases, signal thresholds are lowered following an initial generated signal exceeding a first, higher threshold. In some cases, time-dependent signals are monitored using algorithms that analyze the signals for variations that are characteristic of human usage. Methods are disclosed for determining if two motion sensors are observing the same or overlapping spaces. Systems and methods for calibrating motion sensing systems are also disclosed.
