IR-8 from Climax from the passive infrared motion detector is a microprocessor controlled PIR Detector. Its advanced digitalized adaptive signal processor algorithm enables the PIR detector to ...

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 ...

Home automation with high usefulness and low annoyance tends to rely on reliable person sensing, and [francescopace]’s ESPectre shows one way to do that cheaply and easily by leveraging hardware ...

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 ...

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 ...

This post shares the idea of an automatic ultrasonic yard guard that might keep pests out of your yard without poisons or traps. The automatic yard guard is a motion-sensor controlled device. Its ...

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 ...
