Motion Sensor

written by hek
The **HC-SR501** motion sensor has several nice features such as sensitivity adjustment and trigger delay.

It is very simple to connect the HC-SR501 to your Arduino however this sensor requires 5 VDC so you will need to use a step-up regulator if you are running the 3.3V version of the Arduino Pro Mini.

Demonstration

A small video showing how to build a motion sensor:

Wiring Things Up

Start by connecting the radio module.

Sensor Arduino Comment
GND GND Black
VCC VCC (5-20V) Red
OUT Digital pin 3 (D3) Green

Trimpot Sx - Set sensitivity

Trimpot Tx - Trigger length (5sec - 200sec)

/*
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
