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 ...

Smart lights are a great way to enhance home security. Being able to flip on the lights remotely or automatically, you can give the impression that someone is home and expose potential intruders. It’s ...

This article aims to demonstrate the design of a smart brightness-controlled lamp with a motion sensor using a programmable mixed-signal matrix with four outputs, operating voltage up to 13.2 V, and 2 ...

Motion-triggered smart lighting is pretty magical. Figuring out how to set up little white motion sensors all over your house to make it work is not. With its new SpaceSense feature, Signify may have ...

If you own Philips Hue smart bulbs, don’t think twice about adding Philips’ Hue motion sensor; it’s a nearly flawless upgrade to the Hue ecosystem. Motion-activated lighting isn’t a new idea. Whether ...

If you’re going to develop another Arduino-compatible board these days, you might as well take a “kitchen sink” approach. The Smart Citizen Kit piles it on, including Wi-Fi, an SD card slot, and ...
