Battery powered PIR and temp/humid sensor
-
@Haakon I have one of these sensor in place since about half a year and it is working well. Last battery change is about 4 month ago.
Please find the sketch below which requires some cleanup.
/* Multisensor Sketch Author: Thomas Krebs, thkrebs@gmx.de This sketch reads temperature, humidity, light and presence.

@Haakon Regarding the PIRs: There are a couple of postings in the Internet or I think even in this forum. For example, have a look here: http://randomnerdtutorials.com/modifying-cheap-pir-motion-sensor-to-work-at-3-3v/
@tomkxy How did you power it though? I wanted to use a battery (or several ones) that might fall under 3.3V when used. So I decided to use a step-up converter but that seems to introduce too much noise, so I get false positives from the pir. From a stable 3.3V source it worked just fine.
-
@LastSamurai I powered it through 3.3v step up with one AA battery. I cannot confirm that I get false positives.

What range on the PIR do you get on 3.3 V?

Nice, what PIR and what step up did you use? Hopefully I can get the same ones too ;)

Hi @tomkxy
I'm going to add one of these sensors myself, looks like you've done the hard work...
Could I ask what board you are using, perhaps a simple schematic too if you find a moment? I have a bunch of Nano's, some light sensors (BH1750) and temperature sensors (DS18B20's) - I presume I can swap over the code as required. Thankfully I also have a number of those exact step ups!

@Mark-Swift I used a ProMini 3.3v. Unfortunately, I have no schematic. Since I used breakout boards anyway this is not a big deal. You connect those boards to your power, ground and a digital pin or on SCA, SCL pins. I don't know what the power consumption of the Nano's is. So that is something you have to try out.
