Home automation with high usefulness and low annoyance tends to rely on reliable person sensing, and [francescopace]’s ...

The Sharp GP2AP03VT00F Time-Of-Flight sensor seems to be a nice part for makers and roboticists, focusing on good short distance sensing where other parts sometimes have problems. Alas, Sharp seems to ...

Aqara is introducing a new presence sensor that is a natural addition for HomeKit users who want reliable automations without the need for a camera. The new Aqara FP300 combines mmWave presence ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a way to reduce the standby power consumption of a PIR-sensor-based lighting device. Generally, although a PIR-sensor-based lighting device will turn on when motion ...

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 ...

Automating household or office systems can be achieved using an Arduino Nano, a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor, and a relay. The primary aim is to create a control system that activates or ...

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 ...
