The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Detecting and measuring movement is an essential element for many industrial and commercial IoT applications – from lighting and security to assisted driving. Motion detection systems consist of a ...

Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

A few weeks ago, Aqara was in the news with the release of its new P2 motion sensor. I am a big fan of motion sensors for smart homes as they allow for some pretty rad automations based on who’s in a ...

GlacialLight has added the GL-PIR10C, a versatile infrared motion sensing switch, to its popular range of lighting products.This passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor can be connected to a wide range ...

Smart lights are a great way to enhance home security. Being able to flip on the lights remotely or automatically, you can give the impression that someone is home and expose potential intruders. It’s ...

Panasonic Industry has announced its latest PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, a Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens) sensor. It includes PaPIRs+ (Panasonic Passive Infrared Sensors+), the ...
