Gooee claims ‘world’s smallest’ sensor for LEDs and the Internet of Things

Smart lighting startup Gooee wants to make the Internet of Things bigger by making it smaller: It has unveiled what it says is the world’s smallest sensor for connected LED lighting. Gooee, based in Santa Clara, CA, co-developed the chip with Danish integrated-circuit design company Delta Microelectronics. The new 5×5-mm photodetector, based on active-pixel-sensor technology, will become part of Gooee’s Full-Stack “platform,” which is a set of hardware, software and data management tools for connecting lighting to the Internet.
