Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

It is likely that many of us will at some time have experimented with motion detectors. Our Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, Beaglebones or whatever will have been hooked up to ultrasonic or PIR boards which ...

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...

Wireless sensor networks are nothing new to Hackaday, but [Felix]’s wireless PIR sensor node is something else entirely. Rarely do we see something so well put together that’s also so well designed ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada. The ...

Many close-proximity motion detectors use the classic, widely available passive-infrared (PIR) approach, which is effective but has limited sensitivity and adjustability, and can’t “see” through ...

The Aqara FP300 is a battery-powered presence sensor with Thread and mmWave radar, giving HomeKit precise motion and environmental detection.

Motion detection has become an essential ingredient in traditional electronic security and now it is being utilized in access control and video surveillance systems. With more applications and so many ...

Motion detectors are useful smart home devices for creating simple automations, such as turning on your lights when you enter ...
