Building an Arduino speed detector using IR technology to measure the speed of a moving object is much more cost-effective, ...

substandard wiring, or poor earthing that risks fires - doing just enough to scale the minimum standards. Systems were installed and commissioned without proper documentation, such as the ...

These devices have key drawbacks. Water level indicators require manual pump operation and often waste power as multiple LEDs ...

IDEC Corporation is expanding its already extensive photoelectric (PE) sensor portfolio with the new SA1N series of ...

Plug Ting into a standard wall outlet. It recommends using an outlet in a lesser-used area of your home, not in your main ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the ...

Installation, as with most other smart switches, requires a neutral wire, but we found it to be fairly straightforward. The switch includes an ambient light sensor (so it can be set not to come on ...

We don’t yet know whether Hue is looking at Ambient Sensing specifically, but as Hueblog points out, there’s long been chatter that Hue is interested in turning its lights into motion sensors.

For bonding the radar housing, the task is simple: seal the housing and all of its contents, including the PCB and antenna, to the radome. Silicones are the most widely used materials for this.

Sensify is a new technology that can turn Zigbee switches, bulbs, and plugs into sensors with a firmware update. This could be how Philips Hue will bring ambient sensing to its smart lights.
