JULA motion LED hack



  • I found a cheap (€5) battery powered motion sensor LED at jula.se that I couldn't resist to pry open.

    Looking at the PCB I found the standard BISS0001 used in most PIR motion sensors.

    I de-soldered LED resistor and the resistor connecting the IC with the transistor causing the LED to shine. The bottom orange cable is the sensor output going HIGH when motion is detected. In this sensor trigger time was set to 25s by a 10K resistor at R2, I have replaced it with a short=0 to only have part of a second output (look at the datasheet for more details). The photo resistor is also removed unless you only want night triggering. Pin 9 on the IC, blue circle, is used to enable/disable the sensor. I have left it untouched, for now.

    Since it's powered by 3xAAA=4,5V I take 3V from the top right VDC regulator (?).

    It all fits just fine in the box..ehh

    The example motion sketch have been used as base for my code. I have made some small changes. I disable motion detection for 30min after first trigger. I sleep for 6hours before reporting battery level. Interrupt is triggered by RISING.

  • Soooo what does it do?



  • Ehh, detect motion 😃



  • Ohh haha ok now I get it.

    Nice!



  • Cool! What is the consumption of the node and how long batteries last?



  • @engy I never let the sensor stay for to long since it was so ugly and seemed to drain my batteries fast. What I eventually did was restore it to its original state with a light and light-sensor and powered with a usb charger. Now when motion is detected an event with the light intensity is sent to my HASS server, who then decides if the light should turn on or not....
