Motion sensing technology has come a long way since its inception several years ago. Today we can find motion sensors in almost any home product, which not only adds convenience but also acts as an ...

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 ...

(Passive InfraRed sensor) A device used to detect motion by receiving infrared radiation. When a person walks past the sensor, it detects a rapid change of infrared energy and sends a signal. PIR ...

Sensify is a new technology that can turn Zigbee switches, bulbs, and plugs into sensors with a firmware update. This could be how Philips Hue will bring ambient sensing to its smart lights. Sensify ...

A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...
