Adafruit VCNL4200 Long Distance IR Proximity and Light Sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic
Adafruit Industries, LLC mail
The VCNL4200 is a powerful two-in-one sensor, with a proximity sensor that works from 0 to 1.5m (59 inches) and light sensor with range of 0.003 to 1570 lux. It's one of the longest-range IR distance sensors we've seen, and at a great price with I2C interface. Note that while the chip itself is specced for 1.5 meter distance measurements, that depends a bit on optimal lighting situations and high power configuration. We've found that 50-100cm is a good range to expect, and you won't get a lot of accuracy/precision as the detection object gets farther away.
