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.

PIR sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026 driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology and building automation.

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

I set up my $25 WyzeCam v2 with the PIR Motion Sensor and Sensor Bridge accessory to catch some hummingbirds feeding. I can't use video motion detection because the feeder is constantly swaying in the ...

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 ...
