In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...

In this video I'm building an Arduino Heart Rate Monitor that is housed in a toy handle in the style of the Star Trek Tricoder. The device uses the PulseSensor with an Arduino Pro Mini and an OLED ...

BMV080 is a low-power, low-cost PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 sensor module with I2C and SPI interfaces that sells for just $29.90.

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 ...

Whenever the temperature climbs, we all see social media posts of car dashboards offering blisteringly hot temperature claims, but how accurate are they? As the big question is, really, where is the ...

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat to 68 degrees in the winter. You can save about 10% a year on heating by lowering the temperature 7 to 10 degrees when you are asleep ...

Aqara has announced the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, a new presence sensor that it says is precise enough to suss out whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. The FP400 builds on several past ...

October's cold temperatures have crept in as the first frost has arrived for most of the Northeast and so has the time to look at your thermostat and turn on the heat in your home. You may be ...

Steve Moser has posted on X about some code he found in the Home app of the iOS 26 beta. The code describes an “Adaptive Temperature” feature for home thermostats, which appears to offer several ...
