How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

This small motion sensor switch can be used to control LED strip lighting since it has a motion sensor that responds to movement.
When you set the light sensor value to 20 lux, when the ambient lighting in the room is above 20 lux, the light won't go on, but when it is below 20 lux, when there is movement within the range of the sensor, the light will go on.
After the delay time is triggered, the light will remain on for that amount of time, however, if motion is detected during that time, the delay time will reset and a new delay time will begin.
You can control how close you have to be to the sensor in order to trigger it by adjusting the sensitivity.
You can use this sensor in diverse settings such as for display lighting in entryways, cabinet illumination, lighting for gun safes, pantry illumination, and lighting for under the bed rails.

Questions & Answers

Is this rated for a certain amount of amps?

It's a 3A

This is a sensor which I could wire into a small ringbox to turn on a light when the box is opened. Could I do this?

It may be more convenient to just use a micro switch and do the same thing since the box is small

I bought this sensor to use with a gun safe I built but it never turns off. I have made the adjustments you Are you able to come up with anything?

Reducing the delay time completely will make the web page load much faster. A little bit in the opposite direction (from the position without delay). you have a light that turns on (assuming you do), that can assist with calibration (which enables you to tell if the system is working when you look at it). There are three potentiometers, one of which controls the duration that the light stays on. Read the manual, open it and you'll find it has that potentiometer.

How will this be activated? Will only humans be present? Alternatively, can it be set up for when something passes the sensor, such as a ball rolling by it, to trigger it?

This type of infrastructure is passive The color red. For the switch to operate, I'm pretty sure that whatever moves in front of it must have a heat signature. The cats set off the alarm, so this is why I bought them. On the other hand, there is a calendar hanging on the wall right next to it that does not trigger when the wind blows the calendar.

I found it to be useful for my application
5/5

The way it works seems to be good. This probably wasn't the right purchase for what I wanted. This will allow me to trigger a security camera in my home. In the voltage divider, I measured the *12 and it is in the correct place. Around 23v, the voltage dropped to around 3 In my case, the ADC was an MCP3008 with a A camera can be triggered with a 300ms delay using the built in raspistill command on Raspberry Pi and the Python Operating System. If it were run on a command line, it would run by exec(). I have no idea why it works for you. I would say the range was not as far as I would have liked, I was hoping for at least 30 feet but whatever. When adjusting the sensitivity, it was difficult to turn the potentiometers at the back. Light pot for example, I have no idea how to use it in real time. I set the delay to the lowest possible value and hooked it to a multimeter so I can see in real time where (how far) it triggers, where it shoots from zero. Isolated voltages between 1 and 12 volts. A brief update Looking into implementing a sort of debouncer (many fires mean definite) as opposed to only one being an accident. As a result, I tuned it to work at a distance of just under 12 feet. Based on the notes in my notes above, I sampled at 200 ms and found that the peaks are above my 500 threshold. These are screen grabs taken in real time as I tested the application. To treat it like a debouncer, I will update my code so that it is only triggered when there is "true motion". This is what it looks like when I'm at rest and right when I'm walking through it. Edit *My final update

This is not reliable to me, I even tried using a "debouncer" or sampling the live data (300ms), if after four sequential measurements two of them were what I desired, I can adjust my settings even in a dead still room, as long as nothing moves (I live alone) and I don't notice fluctuations. I have noticed the sensor randomly spikes, sometimes every 20 measurements, and other times nearly every 3 measurements (enough to trip the debouncer). I thought it was cool to play with, but I did not trust it for use on I'd still give it a decent score, so maybe it's just This doesn't help the fact that calibrating this thing is not straightforward and immediate. As an added note, I am using a wireless raspberry pi 3 and looking around, it appears that it could possibly be triggered by the wifi. Therefore, I will attempt to separate the PIR sensor I think the problem might also be related to the fact that the router is nearby. My eyes opened wide when I moved it away from the router by at least 10 feet, and it was completely undetectable now. I don't think the wireless on the Pi has changed (distance between the pi and PIR sensor) just that this setup was near a router. I like it! As it turns out, I was able to move it even closer since the previous place I had it was an ideal position for camera field of view and the distance from sensor.

My heart was so full of hope that this would work out
3/5

When this device was used for the first time, it failed. It never turns off, but the motion sensor always turns on. While I followed all instructions, I did not locate any information about maximum little relay inside the device may not have been able to handle too much power, which is likely the cause of the failure I doubt that it will exceed 10mA. Originally I was using a motion sensor to turn off an LED trailer light, but I connected it to an LED trailer light, which draws 100ma or more, so the motion sensor's internal relay fused, which now prevents the light from turning To turn on/off a light or other load with this motion sensor, connect an external 12VDC relay to it, then switch the relay to turn it on or off. Using this method, it will allow you to isolate the motion sensor and minimize its load. It's $10 out of my pocket. Please let me know if this is useful to.

I like that it works! I love how it works! Within a gun safe, mounted on LED light strips
5/5

Seconds after the door is cracked open, the lights are turned on. Thus far, no complaints have been made! The following is paired This is *br/*.

The simplest of PIR sensors did the job for Halloween
4/5

As an example of this project, I am using a 12v vibration motor behind a door to set off a 12v buzzer. My need for it was weird, so the dial settings were awkward for me to get just what I wanted. At the shortest timer, a jump scare could be achieved in my Halloween haunted house, but it was hard to tame the dials. The sensitivity wasn't exactly what I expected after a lot of trial and error, and it wasn't quite what I expected either. A wide angle field of view seems to be easier to detect than a large distance. (Setting the sensitivity too high resulted in it responding to motion across the room directly in front of it, but missing motion right next to it from too extreme an angle. ) I managed to make it work after a little effort, and it was exactly what I needed for my purposes. Next year, I'll be using a few more of these.

This is an excellent LED strip light for use in office cabinets
5/5

An LED strip in a metal storage cabinet is triggered when the BS010l is activated when the cabinet is opened with the motion switch. In your setup The sensor easily plugs into the existing male/female jacks of the system I'm using, and I found setting the timers and sensitivity easy to do, as long as I followed the instructions clearly spelled out on the package. Less than two minutes were needed for the whole setup. The system seems fairly simple to use and can be plugged in right away. I am left with the following initial impressions Thus far, I have been pleased that it initiates a light strip as soon as the cabinet opens and the sensor is positioned in line with an IR source generated by the body (I can usually see the lights flicker on as my hand reaches to grab the lever of the cabinet). There is no one around to turn the light off after 8 hours. (I timed it several times in the curious manner of conducting research) It remains triggered accordingly when I leave the cabinet open and move about the room anywhere that is within line of sight of the sensor for longer than 5 minutes without triggering again. THE WORKING OF THE SYSTEM I like how well it works! I think it's a very handy piece of software, and as long as it continues to work properly, I will consider it worth it. Each day, there will be several times when it is triggered. I will update this review if I encounter any problems. The sensor I have now is one I recommend and I am considering ordering another one to prepare a similar LED system in a walk-in The pros are The product was simple to install, easy to set up, the instructions were easy to understand, it was of acceptable build quality, small and looked decent, and it worked The cons are I do not have any at the moment. The update will be made.
