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.

Here is an ultra simple Arduino Night Alarm project wired around a handful of inexpensive and easily available components. One advantage of using Arduino as a security system is the flexibility!

This breadboard compatible package combines an ESP32-S2 module with a top-mounted PIR sensor, making it a turn key solution for all sorts of motion sensing projects.

Bang—motion sensor. Project Ideas Depending on the sensors and actuators you use and how you combine them, this fairly simple concept can do some surprisingly complex things.

The PIR motion sensor is a key component in this project. It detects infrared radiation from moving objects, such as humans or animals, and sends a signal to the Raspberry Pi.

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...
