Description

Note: The kit price reflects the cost of the Panasonic EKMB1101111 PIR sensor which is included and unfortunately has gone up in price dramatically since the kit was last available.

Assembly & programming guide: see this page

  • small footprint: 47x43x25mm.
  • truly wireless motion detection, move them anywhere anytime
  • ultra low power: ~2uA whole unit current with the EKMB101111 Panasonic PIR
  • create motion zones and add them to your Moteino wireless network and watch for movement in your home

  • see this link for theory behind PIR sensors: http://www.glolab.com/pirparts/infrared.html 

NOTE regarding radio transceiver option:

  • RFM69HCW (868-915mhz) is the default and recommended option, it comes with a compact helical antenna that fits perfectly inside the case.
  • RFM69HCW (433mhz) will come with a longer helical which will sit against the side wall of the enclosure, this should be OK.
  • As a courtesy the RFM95/96 LoRa radio options are also enabled but you will need to provide your own code/sketch or port the example sketch from RFM69 to RFM95.
  • The default sample sketch in the guide is for RFM69HCW transceivers.
  • The PCB also comes with edge-SMA (1.6mm thickness) and u.FL. connectors as optional mounts should you like to solder your own and make a custom enclosure.

Kit does NOT include:

  • CR123A battery - these are commonly available lithium batteries.
