Here is one simple circuit of a general-purpose white LED security light with Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion sensing mechanism. At the heart of the circuit is a PIR sensor module SB0061. SB0061 is a ...
Figure 1 shows a way to control a light (or other 120-V ac appliance) with a passive-infrared (PIR) alarm sensor. The original concept was to turn a closet or shop light on whenever someone went into.
Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
