The Aqara FP300 is a battery-powered presence sensor with Thread and mmWave radar, giving HomeKit precise motion and ...

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.

[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sensors ...

(Passive InfraRed sensor) A device used to detect motion by receiving infrared radiation. When a person walks past the sensor, it detects a rapid change of infrared energy and sends a signal. PIR ...

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) ...

There’s no shortage of ESP32 development boards out there, with many of them offering some “killer app” feature which may or may not align with whatever it is you’re trying to do. But if you’ve got a ...

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 ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
