Product description: Module with PIR motion sensor - EKMC4607112K - 170 uA - Qwiic - SparkFun SEN-17374
The module from SparkFun is equipped with a motion sensor based on infrared PIR technology. It was equipped with the EKMC4607112K chip of the EKM series by Panasonic, which allows the detection of an object located up to 5 meters from it. It uses the I2C bus to communicate with other devices of the system. Perfect for detecting movement in a small area, it is optimized for small movements.
How does a PIR sensor work?
Motion sensors working in PIR technology do not return specific data about the distance from the detected object. Instead, they react to far-infrared radiation, have a lens that shapes the area of operation and the maximum detection distance. These features make them ideal for applications such as automatically turning on devices when motion is detected. Applications include home and building automation to save energy, can be a key device in projects such as automatic lighting on / off, general security and IoT systems.
