Smart Motion Detector
Smart Motion Detector
Project summary: The Smart Motion Detector project aims to develop a low-cost IoT device
that detects motion and alerts users in real time. Utilizing a PIR motion sensor and a
microcontroller (ESP8266 or ESP32), the device will provide notifications via a buzzer and
can be integrated with a web service for remote alerts. This project combines practical
electronics with programming, offering students hands-on experience in IoT technology.|
Project objectives:
Scope Of Work:
PIR Motion Sensor: Detects movement in the classroom and sends signals to the control
unit
Indicator (Buzzer or LED): Provides immediate feedback through sound or light when
motion is detected, alerting users to activity.
Relay Module: (Optional) Can be included to control external devices, such as lights or
alarms, based on motion detection.
Power Supply: A reliable source, such as a battery or USB power adapter, to power the
entire system.
Cloud Connectivity Module (e.g., MQTT or HTTP): (Optional) Enables integration with
cloud services for remote monitoring and data logging, allowing users to receive notifications
or access system status via a web interface or mobile app.
Implementation Steps:
1. Connect the PIR Sensor: Wire the PIR sensor to the ESP8266/ESP32 (VCC to 5V, GND
to ground, and output pin to a digital input).
2. Write the Code: Use the Arduino IDE to create a program that:
3. Set Up Wi-Fi: Connect the microcontroller to your Wi-Fi network for remote access.
4. Create a Simple Web Interface (Optional): Display motion status or control notification
Budget:
Breakdown:
ESP8266/ESP32: 250pesos
Buzzer/LED: 50pesos
Conclusion:
The Smart Motion Detector project not only serves as an innovative security solution but also
provides IT students with valuable hands-on experience in electronics, programming, and
IoT technology. This project will prepare students for future challenges in the tech industry
while reinforcing their understanding of practical applications.
