Highlights
- Infrared partition sensor that detects the position of a movable room partition in a divisible meeting space.
- Reports partition status to trigger automatic merge and split of the room's audio and conferencing systems.
- Integrates with the Yealink AP08 Dante DSP through its GPIO interface, configured in Yealink Room Designer.
- Also supports third-party control systems through the GPIO interface.
- Uses infrared diffuse reflection for high precision and low false detection, with adjustable sensitivity.
- Two on-unit LEDs indicate power and communication status and partition detection.
- Includes a 10 m cable for flexible placement, surface-mount design.
Ideal For
- Divisible conference rooms with movable partitions or air walls
- Rooms that combine and divide and need audio and conferencing to follow the partition
- Yealink SkySound divisible-room deployments built around the AP08 DSP
- Integrations using Yealink Room Designer to save combined-room and divided-room presets
- Third-party control environments that accept a GPIO partition input
Yealink YPS20 Partition Sensor with GPIO Interface for Divisible Meeting Rooms (1303180)
The YPS20 is a surface-mount infrared sensor that detects whether the movable partition in a divisible room is open or closed, then reports that status so the room's systems can respond. When the partition is removed to combine two spaces, or replaced to divide them, the sensor signals the change so audio routing and conferencing configuration can switch between combined-room and divided-room states automatically instead of relying on manual reconfiguration. It uses infrared diffuse reflection technology with adjustable sensitivity for reliable detection, and two LEDs report power, communication, and detection status.
The YPS20 is an integration component, not a standalone device, so it is specified as part of a larger room design. In a Yealink deployment it connects to the GPIO interface on the AP08 Dante DSP, and Yealink Room Designer uses that input to drive the adaptive merge and split behavior and to save presets for each room combination. It can alternatively feed a third-party control system through the same GPIO interface. Before ordering, confirm the room includes an AP08 (or a compatible control system) to receive the signal, plan the sensor's mounting position relative to the partition within its effective range, and use the included 10 m cable to route back to the host.

What's Included
- YPS20 partition sensor
- 10 m cable
Certifications and Compatibility
- Yealink AP08 Dante DSP: primary integration path. The YPS20 connects to the AP08 GPIO interface, with behavior configured in Yealink Room Designer.
- Yealink Room Designer: uses the sensor input to automate merge and split and to store combined-room and divided-room presets as part of the Yealink divisible-room (SkySound) solution.
- Third-party control: supported through the GPIO interface where an AP08 is not used.
- Dependency: the YPS20 requires AP08 integration or third-party control. It does not function as a standalone device.
- Placement: detects a partition within the effective sensing range, positioned using the included 10 m cable.
Design Considerations
- Confirm the room design includes an AP08 DSP or a compatible third-party control system to receive the sensor signal. The YPS20 cannot operate on its own.
- Mount the sensor where the partition reliably enters its detection range, and set sensitivity for the specific surface and environment to minimize false detection.
- Plan the cable route back to the AP08 or control interface within the 10 m cable length.
- For multi-combination spaces (three or more sections), plan a sensor and DSP arrangement that covers each partition and each combined and divided state, and validate the presets in Room Designer.
- Verify the working sensing distance on site during commissioning and set sensitivity accordingly.
Licensing, Warranty & Support
No license or subscription applies to the YPS20 itself. It is covered by Yealink's two-year limited hardware warranty, with terms available from Yealink or an authorized reseller at the time of purchase. Configuration is handled in Yealink Room Designer as part of the AP08-based divisible-room solution, and firmware or setup support is provided through the associated Yealink room system and Yealink's management tools.
VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can confirm the YPS20 is the right sensor for your divisible-room design and that your room includes an AP08 DSP or a compatible control system to act on its signal. We can help plan sensor placement relative to the partition and its detection range, size the cable routing within the 10 m length, and design the merge and split presets in Yealink Room Designer for each room combination. For multi-room and multi-site programs we can help standardize the divisible-room audio and sensor design so every flexible space behaves consistently.
Common Questions
What does the YPS20 do?
It detects whether a movable room partition is open or closed and reports that status, so a divisible room can automatically switch between combined and divided configurations rather than being reconfigured by hand.
Does it work on its own?
No. It requires integration with the Yealink AP08 DSP through its GPIO interface, or with a third-party control system. It is an integration component, not a standalone device.
How does it connect to a Yealink system?
Through the GPIO interface on the AP08 Dante DSP. Yealink Room Designer then uses the sensor input to automate merging and splitting and to store presets.
How far can it sense the partition?
Up to 1.5 m on the product specification, with adjustable sensitivity to suit the environment. Confirm the working distance on site during commissioning.
How is it powered and cabled?
It ships with a 10 m cable that both places the sensor in the correct position and connects it back to the AP08 or control interface.
