The PIR library implements a class to monitor 1 or more PIR sensors. The library supports default 8 PIR sensors per object, which typically are added in setup ().

Zigbee is a protocol that has been around for quite a long time, and you can purchase many cheap smart sensors to incorporate into your own Zigbee network. Zigbee is its own network, meaning that it ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Furthermore, PIR sensors are susceptible to false detections when non-human objects enter the sensor’s view, adding to their limitations. When embarking on a new sensor design, it’s worth considering ...

A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...

PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications. The output of PIR motion detection sensor can be connected directly to one of the Arduino (or any microcontroller) ...

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.
