Secret Knock Sensor (1.4)
-
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:

@hek Very neat. Now I have to find some place to use this :-)

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. -
@hek
Very nice addition to the sensor collection. Congratulations.
Have you tried to use a piezo sensor instead of a mic?Something like this:
-
No couldn't find any around the house. But it should probably work. You might need to us analog input to tune it.
