1. A method, comprising:
acquiring, by a computing system, a first plurality of samples of a first signal generated by an infrared sensor over a first time interval;
determining, by the computing system and based at least in part on the first plurality of samples, a first average power of the first signal over the first time interval;
determining, by the computing system, that the first average power exceeds a first threshold; and
based at least in part on the first average power exceeding the first threshold, outputting, by the computing system, an indication of motion.
