A universal multifunction sensor having multiple optical designs and providing a plurality of parameter sensors in one sensor module which can interface with and control operation of one or more processor control systems in an occupied space networked environment. The universal multifunction sensor comprises a passive infrared occupancy sensor and an ambient light sensor. A common network communications and control processor coupled to a common communication transceiver are shared in common by the occupancy sensor and the ambient light sensor, such that the multifunction sensor can interface with and control operation of one or more processor control systems in an occupied space networked environment. A segmented lens array comprises a plurality of lens segments forming a lens array for directing infrared radiation onto the passive infrared occupancy sensor, and is selected from one of the group of segmented lens arrays comprising: a wide view wallmount lens array providing both a wide field of view and both a long and short range detection optical pattern; a hallway wall mount lens array providing a narrow field of view and a long range detection optical pattern; a cubicle wall mount lens array providing a wide field of view and a very short range detection optical pattern; whereby the universal multifunction sensor can be provided with a segmented lens array designed to optimize the field of view and motion detection for a particular mounting application. The present invention also provides a novel detailed design for a cubicle wall mount segmented lens array providing a wide field of view and a very short range detection optical pattern suitable for operation in a close-in environment as in a cubicle.
