    摘要: The invention refers to an apparatus (130) for configuring a radiofrequency sensing of a radiofrequency sensing network (100) comprising network devices (121, 122, 123), e.g. luminaires, wherein the network is adapted to perform radiofrequency sensing in a first (101, 201 301) and second area (102, 202,. 302) separated by a physical separation (126, 330). The apparatus comprises a providing unit (131) determining a first baseline and a second baseline, wherein the first/second baseline is associated with the first/second area, respectively. The first/second baseline enable a radiofrequency sensing of events in the second area by the network devices. A configuration unit (132) is adapted to configure the radiofrequency sensing to differentiate between events originating from the areas based on the baselines. This allows the present invention to provide an apparatus that allows for a more accurate and reliable 10 radiofrequency sensing in a predefined sensing area.
