Electric eye
Electric eye is a somewhat dated term used to describe a simple electrical means of sensing something. An example is the door safety system used on garage door openers that use a light transmitter and receiver at the bottom of the door to prevent closing if there is any obstruction in the way that breaks the light beam.
