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 ...

Wireless sensor networks are nothing new to Hackaday, but [Felix]’s wireless PIR sensor node is something else entirely. Rarely do we see something so well put together that’s also so well designed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In an era where homeowners frequently leave for work or education, robust security for residences is imperative. Traditional security measures, including window and door locks, present ...

A year ago [Lochie] bought an Airwick automatic air freshener, and while he thought it was a cool gadget, the freshening spray and the novelty ran out in short order. The device collected dust in his ...
