Kangaroo’s latest motion sensor adds entry detection to the mix, but its lack of geofencing capabilities or support for any type of security camera makes it tough to recommend. It’s one thing to snap ...

You can use mmWave sensors to monitor presence rather than simply detecting motion.

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) ...

Kangaroo presents a very low barrier to entry when it comes to home security, but it’s extremely feature limited and it only protects your home while you’re not in it. Motion sensors are an essential ...

The Hue Outdoor Sensor is the first outdoor HomeKit sensor, and adds motion, temperature, and light sensors to automate the outside of your Apple-centric smart home. Recently, we took a look at the ...

A few weeks ago, Aqara was in the news with the release of its new P2 motion sensor. I am a big fan of motion sensors for smart homes as they allow for some pretty rad automations based on who’s in a ...

The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

Make light work of it.

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Motion detectors might make you think about smart security systems and surveillance, but they can be great and inexpensive tools that you can ...

It’s really hard to overstate how awesome ESP8266 development boards like the Wemos D1 Mini really are. For literally a couple of dollars you can get a decently powerful Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller ...
