@TheFridgeShaman what is your view?

I know sometimes these are tagged as 'PCS' but it is indeed a different technology (occupied/unoccupied vs actual count of people)

Hi Rita and Kelly, ultimately we're talking about PIR sensors.
If I understood correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the spirit of BDNS so far was to name assets according to their technology rather than to their function or role in a specific scenario, and BDNS is not inclined to accept a new abbreviation for an asset that already exists in the abbreviation register.
For this reason, it would make sense to call them MOS like any other motion sensors even though they work for occupancy counting. The counter-argument is that LMS exists for lighting motion sensors, but the exception there might be justified due to the separate control system and the large number of PIRs.
I would suggest not calling them PCS because if you have actual people counters in the project you might have a hard time filtering them and telling them apart solely from the device name.
Hope it helps. Please let me know your comments because it's a dilemma that appears often in projects.
