Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

The LS6506R is a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor interface IC that is designed to drive a latching relay. However, the device can be used in a wall-switch configuration (no Neutral available) to ...

This is a simple update to Mr. Hareendran’s PIR Sensor Security Light circuit. It has a shortcoming limits the relay voltage to approximately 3.3V. While this may function with some 5V relays, it will ...
