Oiyagai 2pcs AM312 Mini Pyroelectric PIR Sensor Module Manual Motion Infrared IR Detector SR301

Product Information

I’ve made some ESPHome sensors with those components. My PIR looks just like yours, and the pinout is If your sensor has an extra part as marked with the red cross in the figure; simply use pliers and break it away before you start. You need all the space you can get. Proceeding with the code, we need to create two Pin objects. One for the LED on GPIO 12, and another for the PIR motion sensor on GPIO 14. led = Pin(12, Pin.OUT) The third RCWL I only recently installed, so there's not too much enough experience to talk about, the others are up and running for months now. But at least the radio fields of both RCWL's in the neighbouring rooms in the garage seem to not influence one another I had some doubts on that point as I first tried to use 3 of the RCWL's on the cellar node to monitor the two cellar rooms and the corridor; that didn't work - as I now think due to powering issues.

Maybe good to inform you about the truth of PIR sensors that help to eliminate the problems that are commonly known with these small units.When you have ESPHome up and running on the development board, disconnect the board from the power source and connect wires to the 3.3V and GND pins. Strip the other end of the wires, then: A second sensor goes in parallel to the first with it's own resistor and goes to it's own analog port. Before you continue, make sure to test that all your sensors work. For this, you must upload and adjust the ESPHome yaml-file for your device.

You may further filter the power supply and detect output wires with a so calles Lowpass (Pi) filter as close to the circuit as possible, consisting of at least a capacitor of a couple of Pf’s between the power supply / detection output lead and GND as well as an inductor in series with it. I would start to use 100pF and 220nH as this has a cut-off frequency of about 80MHz, which should eliminate problems enough. The second argument of the attachInterrupt() function is the name of the function that will be called every time the interrupt is triggered.Upload the code to your ESP32/ESP8266 board. The LED should turn on for 20 seconds when motion is detected, and a message should be printed in the Shell. As said before, position it in a place where sudden temperature variations (within a couple of seconds) are not to be expected. Slow variations are fine as the circuit measures differential voltages in a window comparator or digital equivalent of that.

Twist one end of each wire and pass it through the indicated holes in the board, tie the wires and use insulation tape to keep them apart and in place. Here’s the script that detects motion and lights up an LED whenever motion is detected. This code is compatible with both the ESP32 and ESP8266. # Complete project details at https://RandomNerdTutorials.com I wanted to extend our setup for our bedroom and since we already had an ESP32 NodeMCU device running ESPHome with a DHT22 Sensor collecting temperature and humidity metrics, extending this felt like the logical choice. Possible reasons include: forgot pullup/down resistor, too noisy (from microwave oven, induction cooker for example, cable too long, cable not shielded, power noise (due to power hungry BlueTooh, Wifi, solution is turn them off or heavily by pass/decouple Rpi USB)

So I think the docs should be updated at least to show images/pinouts on an am312 instead of a 501.

To my amazement, I’ve spent half the day trying to get it to work and it’s still just spitting out messages like this: [20:26:26][W][dht:120]: Requesting data from DHT failed! The “Motion stopped…” message will be printed in the Serial Monitor, the LED is turned off, and the startTimer variable is set to false. Demonstrationhandler: this is a function that will be called when an interrupt is detected, in this case the handle_interrupt() function. AM312 works even on 3.3v instead of 5v (like HC-SR501) which makes it perfect for ESP8266 devices without a 5V line (like Sonoff Basic). It is also less prone to false triggers due to Wi-Fi interference. If you use Wagos, connect each stripped wire end to a separate Wago. Each Wago is now an “extension” of 3.3V and GND. Don’t mix them!
