PIR sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026 driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology and building automation.

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 ...

(Passive InfraRed sensor) A device used to detect motion by receiving infrared radiation. When a person walks past the sensor, it detects a rapid change of infrared energy and sends a signal. PIR ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Motion detectors are useful smart home devices for creating simple automations, such as turning on your lights when you enter ...

A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...

Moderately priced Passive Infrared PIR Sensor modules are now widely available. By using these readymade and pre-configured PIR sensors, even an average electronics hobbyist can construct his/her own ...
