Questions & Answers

When I try to drive the coil of these relays, it doesn't give a strong enough signal for them to be triggered. I'm doing something wrong, what should I do?

Here are three of the three. Voltage of 3s is referred to as "Signal voltage.". There is no purpose for it to operate relays. To do that, you need more power. Alternately, you can build a driver circuit and use a different type of relay. When you receive the signal "3, you could then use it. Turn on and off the relay by applying a voltage of 3 volts.

Can you tell me if it comes with the wire However, some reviews make it seem like it might not be the case. ?

You will receive cable with the order.

It is possible for this sensor to In feet) between the sensor and the person detected? Are there any limitations to how it can be mounted, such as having it be mounted stationary or ?

In this sensor, motion can be detected only when a change in environment is detected. The sensor cannot determine the range or distance of an object. A trigger would also be triggered if it were

I think it works fine
3/5

As I expected, this is bigger than I thought. My expectation was that it would be about the size of my SmartThings motion sensors, but it was much larger. I've tested it with my Pi 3, and it seems to work quite well. It seems to be less reliable when connected to the Pi Zero for some reason. I've no idea why this is happening. Usually, I use my Pi3 to set up things since it is more speedy and remote desktop is much faster, and when I am done I put the microSD into a Pizero and transfer the hardware over to the Pizero. This motion sensor tends to work well for everything else but this. In spite of being set to the lowest level of sensitivity, the alarm often goes off when nothing is happening. The motion sensor is constantly seeing motion if the sensitivity is high. As it seems to work fine depending on the device connected to it, it gets 3 stars. As well as two different pi zeros, I have experienced the same problems with two of these. The pi zero was not very reliable with them so I ended up not using them.

The program does what it is supposed to do
5/5

My goal is to create a motion activated magic mirror out of this. The Pi 3B+ worked perfectly with it, and I was able to plug it in and get it working easily. To connect it to the Pi, I used a breadboard and M-Sata connectors The following kb Jumpers in the F category.

The motion sensor is quite good
5/5

It got a 5-star rating from me There are stars in this game, but I wouldn't call them pro-stars It's grade time. It does work pretty well and they would be my second order. It is also worth considering that they are far more affordable than professional It costs a lot to buy motion sensors of this grade.

Motion sensors based on PIR technology
5/5

It is great to have the PIR motion sensors come on time to use with my students in our Learning to Code.

Sensitive to changes in temperature or humidity, but not I was really disappointed with the If I wave my hand in front of it I can make it go high, but I have to stand about a foot away from it
3/5

The sensitivities are all set to max. This may be an unreliable sample, but I am unsure if I would like to Unlike other applications, it is simple and has a great deal of Upon arrival, the package was properly packaged and on time.

This is a 5 star hotel
5/5

The plugin works well, but I would have included a vs option. Wires at their bare bases.

I have no problems with it
4/5

I had the connecting code and the code worked properly once I got them both set up. My use of it is to trigger a pi camera whenever motion is detected and it works well.

I am very pleased with the sensor
5/5

Playing a sound every four seconds was what I used it for. I am very pleased with the sensor. Every time someone walked by, I would play the sound. One of the things I liked best about this app is that you can adjust the sensitivity and time.
