In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...

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 ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Trumpeted as the world's smallest pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor, the IRS-B210ST01-RI measures 5 mm x 4.7 mm x 2.4 mm. The component is also said to be the only surface-mount PIR sensor available ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...

The FP1E’s millimeter wave technology provides for a much more nuanced look at whether a room is occupied or not, but you’ll need one of Aqara’s Zigbee or Matter smart home hubs to use it. Whatever ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. The long-promised Thread sensor is finally here, but while there are some improvements, Matter’s shortcomings ...

Proximity sensing is a common application for intruder alarms, light switches, and other home and industrial automation applications. There are multiple methods of proximity detection used in the ...
