Secret Knock Sensor (1.4)

[hek]

Managed to get my secret knock sensor working tonight! A YouTube clip demonstrating sensor has been posted below.

With this you can control a Relay or Solenoid Lock from your controller or by using your very own secret knock sequence detected by a sound sensor.

You can even record a new knock sequence by attaching a button on the arduino which enables record mode (stores sequece to eeprom).

The latest version can be found here:

Much of the MySensors adopted secret knock code comes from this tutorial:

Nice hek!
I'we always had in mind to make a "Clapper" switch but I guess this could be used for that purpose also, I'll give it a try.

Very nice addition to the sensor collection. Congratulations.
Have you tried to use a piezo sensor instead of a mic?

Something like this:

@ferpando

No couldn't find any around the house. But it should probably work. You might need to us analog input to tune it.
