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 ...

Working from home with regular video meetings has its challenges, especially if you add kids to the mix. To help avoid embarrassing situations, [Charitha Jayaweera] created Present!, a USB device to ...

This project uses a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor to detect motion and displays the status on an I2C Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). When motion is detected, a message is shown on the LCD and printed to ...

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 ...

To detect motion using a PIR sensor connected to an Arduino and trigger an LED (using the built-in LED) when motion is sensed. Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are electronic devices that detect motion ...

Abstract: In this paper, the Arduino based Intruder Detection System employing Rochelle Salt and Pyro-electric or Passive infrared (PIR) Sensor has been proposed. The proposed system employs Rochelle ...

In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...

Halloween is coming up faster than you think: time to dust off the gravestones and the zombie lawn decorations! This year you may want to add a little something extra to give the trick-or-treaters a ...
