Abstract: Pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors are widely used as a simple but powerful people presence triggers, e.g., automatic lighting systems. In particular, by alternating the effective ...

Abstract: Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are widely used in motion sensing and lighting control. However, stationary occupants always trigger false-negative detects of PIR sensors and result in ...

The PIR library implements a class to monitor 1 or more PIR sensors. The library supports default 8 PIR sensors per object, which typically are added in setup(). It is possible to add a sensor (pin) ...

Murata SMD TYPE IRS-D200ST00R1 is one of the world’s smallest PIR motion sensors at just 6 x 6 mm in size and with a 2.6 mm thickness. Its name implies, it’s a reflowable SMD component, which ...

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 ...

Smart homes are becoming more and more intelligent by the day, but there’s nothing quite as smart as a home that can detect where you are in order to automatically trigger a wide variety of different ...

STMicro STHS34PF80 is a new IR sensor designed for IoT and Smart Home devices requiring motion and/or presence detection that offers an alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors and is ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...
