The best sensor you can use to detect an intrusion is the Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. The PIR Sensor detects the motion of a human body by the change in surrounding ambient temperature when a human ...

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.

Using the Arduino Sketch [Eric] has written, you can easily plug in your Wi-Fi information and IFTTT key and trigger. All that’s left to do is put this IoT motion sensor to work by mounting it ...
