Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

The Aqara FP300 is a battery-powered presence sensor with Thread and mmWave radar, giving HomeKit precise motion and ...

Motion detectors are useful smart home devices for creating simple automations, such as turning on your lights when you enter ...

Detecting and measuring movement is an essential element for many industrial and commercial IoT applications – from lighting and security to assisted driving. Motion detection systems consist of a ...

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 ...

There’s no shortage of ESP32 development boards out there, with many of them offering some “killer app” feature which may or may not align with whatever it is you’re trying to do. But if you’ve got a ...

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 ...

Last year, I took a look at some mostly low-cost passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules. Then recently, I became more aware of cheap microwave radar motion sensor modules. The popular version of ...
