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 whi… ...

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.

If you've always wanted to try to build an Arduino project, this may be a great way to start. Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by ...

I've just come across a no-name non-contact, high-precision 80 GHz mmWave radar sensor for liquid level detection with a 40m ...

Basically, the controller is a glove with an embedded Arduino microcontroller and accelerometer. The accelerometer uses sensors to detect the motion and speed of your hand, while the connected Arduino ...

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 ...

One of the essential parts of any home security system is a door detector that lets you know when a door opens. Over on Adafruit, they show you how to build your own that hooks into IFTTT so you ...
