While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

Here's what players need to do to use motion sensor properly in Phasmophobia.

Make sure the adjustment knobs for sensitivity and on-time for the motion sensor are facing up so you can modify how sensitive your device is and how long it stays on to signal your Arduino.

Think of motion sensors, and your first thought probably goes to security. An intruder enters your property, the sensors detect them, and floodlights snap on. The same principle applies for ...

Here is how to create a smart brightness-controlled lamp with motion sensor. It works only when the motion is detected and has two modes.

As for sensors, it has a light sensor and an optional 9-axis motion sensor, allowing for gesture sensing, proximity detection, and motion tracking.

If you can install a conventional outdoor light fixture, you can install a motion sensor light, although aiming and adjusting it takes extra effort.
