In this video, I created a blood oximeter by using the MAX30105 particle sensor to figure out the changes in color of passing ...

In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...

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 ...

Before SwitchBot entered the robot vacuum market, the smart home devices manufacturer was into simple, affordable retrofit solutions that made traditional appliances ...

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 ...
