Is there microwave motion detector that can be a tachometer?

loadline last edited by

Hello,

I am looking for a microwave motion detector that also has to be a tachometer. Every time the movement is registered detector records it as 1 movement. The area detector covers needs to be narrowed down. In my case, I am looking for something like 2 inch by 4-5 inch area. The detection distance from the sensor should not be more than 1 meter.
Initially, I thought about using laser no contact tachometer but it does require reflective tape. Applying reflective tape will not work for what I need. Basically, microwave motion tachometer I am looking for needs to work as a laser no contact tachometer but without reflective tape. Also, the MPS (movements per second) will not be more than 20; so, laser is not necessary.

Please, let me know if it is feasible and actually exists.

Thank you.

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

@Shirkit I agree. I have a lot of unifinished projects. Most of them still on breadboards. But as we will do a big reno on the house I need to finish them. Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to figure out how they worked if I store them in boxes during the reno. I have some light projects, A garden controller just an improved version of what was posted many years ago. And some more generic things that are probably not interesting to most people. And I also have a hub node the allows you to use cheap rf modules from AliExpress to control rooms very easy. I transformed a for channel remote module to a 15 button remote. Without this site I wouldn't be able to keep making MySensors stuff

@GLAB You can set the frequencies using the settings in MyConfig.h, which is in the MySensors folder. If you put any of the defines from MyConfig.h into your sketch, they will override the MyConfig.h setting for that sketch only. If you are using the RF24 radio, there are different channels which correspond to a given frequency. The default is channel 76. There is a list of typical channels in MyConfig.h. If you want to change the channel for all the sketches, change it in MyConfig.h. If you want to change it just for the sketch, add a define to the sketch. For example: #define MY_RF24_CHANNEL (84) The problem with changing the channel in a sketch is that the gateway has to be on the same channel to receive from the node. So, normally it makes sense to change in MyConfig.h because you usually want the gateway and all the nodes on the same channel. Other radio's like the RFM69 list the frequency instead of using a channel. They can be overridden in the sketch as well. You can find the defines that are needed in MyConfig.h

AI-based radar nodes sound like an exciting advancement, especially for security and smart home automation. The ability to detect human presence without movement could be useful for elderly care, energy efficiency, and security systems. Using a serial protocol makes integration straightforward, making it a feasible weekend project for those familiar with microcontrollers. However, privacy concerns are valid—just like with any smart home technology, balancing convenience with data security is key.

LiFePO4 batteries are a great choice because they have a long life cycle and are much safer than other lithium-based batteries. However, you need a solar charge controller that’s compatible with LiFePO4 to prevent overcharging and maintain efficiency. A good MPPT controller can significantly boost energy harvest from your panels. Also, ensure your solar panel output matches your power needs. If you're in solar ireland, you might find some local companies that offer tailored solutions for maximizing solar efficiency in lower light conditions.

@eiten Ran into the same error but of course the community is always at hand, ready to help! Great! I'm using MySensors 2.3.2 release version. Downgrading the ESP8266 board library to 2.7.4 as suggested by @OldSurferDude did the trick. I'm still clinging to MySensors. So simple and inexpensive to use! All sensors and other stuff connects over three MQTT GW in three locations back to my Home Assistant. PS: Get well soon! Regards, Gunnar
