This project involves creating an automated system that controls room appliances (like lights and fans) based on human presence using an Arduino microcontroller and a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor.

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

This project uses an Arduino Uno to build a burglar detection alarm system with a PIR sensor. The system triggers an alarm when motion is detected, signaling with an LED and a piezo buzzer. This code ...

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 ...

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 ...

State energy codes in the United States, which must be at least as stringent as the ASHRAE/IES 90.1-1999 standard, require automatic shutoff of lighting in commercial buildings greater than 5,000 ...
