Abstract
A method comprises determining () sensing input and determining () a likelihood that a human or animal is present based on the sensing input. The sensing input reflects changes in radio frequency signals received by one or more devices. The method further comprises controlling () a lighting device to render a light effect upon determining that the likelihood exceeds a presence detection threshold, and to continue to render the light effect for a subsequent predetermined period of time even when the likelihood changes by more than a predetermined value within the predetermined period. The method further comprises indicating () the likelihood to a user via an indication selected from a plurality of indications, e.g. by rendering the indication on the lighting device. A different indication of the plurality of indications is selected upon determining that the likelihood has changed more than the predetermined value.
