The library gives control over up to 16 parallel working PIR devices over I2C. The idea for this library came up in a discussion about how to fully cover an area with PIR sensors without blind spots ...

Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026. This is driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology, building automation, and energy-conscious design. Once ...

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

Panasonic Industry unveils a new generation of passive infrared (PIR) motion sensing arriving with a clear message: performance no longer needs to come at the cost of design. A recently introduced ...

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 ...

A slew of wireless and increasingly multi-modal sensors is being targeted at the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), setting the stage for significant improvements in efficiency, higher yield, and ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L4CD time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

Netplan is a modern network configuration tool introduced in Ubuntu 17.10 and later adopted as the default for managing network interfaces in Ubuntu 18.04 and beyond. With its YAML-based configuration ...

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 ...

From controlling everything from door locks to energy consumption, smart home technology has taken the world by storm. But can smart home appliances solve another pesky and common issue: pest control?

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 ...
