When I wrote about a DIY ESP32-S3 internet radio last week, "raspbeguy" commented he'd rather choose an ESP32-based DIY DAB+ ...

Installing a smart water sensor can save you a lot of money and hassle. The top leak detectors we've tested immediately alert you to issues and even shut off your home's water supply. I’ve been ...

Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026. This is driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology, building automation, and energy-conscious design. Once ...

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

Panasonic Industry unveils a new generation of passive infrared (PIR) motion sensing arriving with a clear message: performance no longer needs to come at the cost of design. A recently introduced ...

Panasonic Industry has announced its latest PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, a Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens) sensor. It includes PaPIRs+ (Panasonic Passive Infrared Sensors+), the ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

A slew of wireless and increasingly multi-modal sensors is being targeted at the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), setting the stage for significant improvements in efficiency, higher yield, and ...
