A few weeks ago, Aqara was in the news with the release of its new P2 motion sensor. I am a big fan of motion sensors for smart homes as they allow for some pretty rad automations based on who’s in a ...

(Nanowerk News) What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout ...

Motion detectors are useful smart home devices for creating simple automations, such as turning on your lights when you enter a room or being alerted to motion in your home when you're away. Standard ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...
