(Passive InfraRed sensor) A device used to detect motion by receiving infrared radiation. When a person walks past the sensor, it detects a rapid change of infrared energy and sends a signal.
But you need to buy additional hardware like motion sensors to make this “magic” happen ... Performance-wise, McKinney says ...
As an example, [Circuit Valley] has an IKEA Vallhorn motion sensor for a teardown, it’s as you might expect, a passive infrared sensor (PIR) sensor coupled with a Zigbee interface. Inside the ...
this DIY motion trigger for a DSLR is a quick and easy build, and probably loads more fun. The BOM on [Jeremy S Cook]’s build is extremely short – just a PIR sensor and an optoisolator ...
