💬 EASY PIR multisensors box
-
Nca78 is buying the bare sensor for 1$ as a end user, so to me 4$ for a pcb and a connector is overpriced
Xiaomi PIR sensors are zigbee devices, so you shoud compare them to a normal pro mini pir sensor with nrf24 and an etra light sensor.@gohan For instance if I wanted to answer my own question and test it to check how well it detects, I'd probably order the breakout that Scalz pointed to, or perhaps one like it if I could find one with cheap shipping, and run the test. It would cost me more, especially in time, to make it from scratch.
On the other hand, if I were making a very small batch of fully complete PIR sensors with enclosure and batteries and everything else for use at my house, I maybe wouldn't use it. Or, maybe I would. Not really sure. I haven't looked into how hard it might be solder it, especially without contaminating the detector from flux fumes or the like or maybe ruining it with an IPA wash afterward.
Overall, I still think it's an interesting breakout, and a big thank you to @scalz for pointing it out.
:)
Also, regarding the OP, I like that @Koresh 's design is so small. That's not easy!

And final version of the enclosure :smiley:
It also has rubber 3d printed parts to protect the board from the environment but allow the sensor to work properly. Will show it later.
