The Future of Buildings Begins With a Vision, And a Founder Who Never Accepts Waste.
Sensora Smart transforms outdated lights into an intelligent network that adapts to your space, dimming, brightening, and learning automatically to reduce costs, enhance wellbeing, and build a more sustainable future.
OUR CONNECTED NETWORK
“My work only matters if it improves life for people — including my own family”
He’s a learner, a builder, and a visionary with his feet firmly on the ground.
“I’m driven by one question: Why do we allow so much waste when better systems are already possible?”
— Dan Flühmann, Founder
Dan Flühmann is a serial entrepreneur, but not in the stereotypical sense.
He doesn’t build companies for the sake of business.
He builds companies to fix what’s broken.
Across every venture — from lighting to sustainable packaging to building optimization — Dan follows a simple philosophy:
-
Make things work better.
-
Make them sustainable.
-
Make them effortless.
Before Sensora Smart, Dan spent years building and leading ProLamps AG, planning and delivering professional lighting solutions for companies across Switzerland.
That’s when he noticed something troubling:
“We light spaces without asking why.
We heat and cool them the same way.
And so much of it is pure waste.”
He saw companies replacing old lamps with cheap LEDs — without realizing they would fail early, waste energy, and miss a massive opportunity for savings.
He saw workspaces that were uncomfortable, poorly lit, or unsafe — simply because the lighting didn’t adapt to the way people actually use the space.
He saw heating and cleaning schedules running at full force — even when rooms stayed empty for days.
And he saw that all the answers were already there — in the building itself.
They just weren’t being used.
The Turning Point: From Light to Insight
Dan realized that modern lighting, when equipped with the right sensors, becomes something entirely different:
-
A distributed network of intelligence.
-
Every light fixture is a sensor.
-
Every sensor produces insights.
-
And those insights can power the entire building.
Sensora Smart was born the moment Dan connected these dots:
If buildings could sense their own usage, they could optimize themselves.
This was no longer just about lighting.
It was about:
-
Reducing unnecessary heating
-
Cutting cleaning where it isn’t needed
-
Lowering CO₂ emissions
- Improving workspace wellbeing
- Reducing unnecessary heating
- Extended material lifespan
- Creating truly intelligent buildings that think and adapt
And his core belief emerged:
“The best light is the light you don’t need.”
This became the foundation of the entire Sensora ecosystem.
Sensora Smart Ecosystem
Together, these systems unlock the core promise of Sensora Smart:
Buildings that save energy, reduce waste, and support human well-being — automatically.
Three pillars of an intelligent building:
Sensora Light
Lighting that feels movement, daylight, and presence — adjusting gently and intelligently.
Sensora Air
Indoor climate insights that support healthier, more comfortable work environments.
Sensora Temp
Temperature management that responds to real usage, not fixed schedules.
Sensora Clean
Cleaning intelligence that uses real occupancy data to ensure spaces are cleaned only when needed, reducing waste and unnecessary effort.

Why Dan Built Sensora Smart
- Because buildings can do better.
- Because companies deserve systems that help, not hinder.
- Because employees deserve spaces where they feel good and work safely.
- Because the planet can’t afford wasteful infrastructures anymore.
When buildings start thinking, we all live and work better.
