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) ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

Motion detection has become an essential ingredient in traditional electronic security and now it is being utilized in access control and video surveillance systems. With more applications and so many ...

Many close-proximity motion detectors use the classic, widely available passive-infrared (PIR) approach, which is effective but has limited sensitivity and adjustability, and can’t “see” through ...

DMP is pleased to introduce the 1122 Wireless PIR (Passive Infrared) Motion Detector. Available now for order, the 1122 comes in a sleek tear-drop shape that has all of the functionality of the 1121 ...

Presence detection finally works in my house, and there isn't a motion sensor involved.

The landscape of smart sensors in 2026 presents a complex but rewarding challenge for those looking to enhance their home automation setups. With options ranging from PIR motion sensors to mmWave ...
