<h3 >Introduction</h3>In this project we use ESP8266 in its NodeMCU form factor as a home security device which with the help of PIR sensor senses the movement of intruder and sends and email and mobile notification to the owner along with the time.<h3 >What is PIR Sensor?</h3>A passive infrared sensor PIR sensor is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications hence we would be using it.<h3 >So Lets Get Started!</h3><h3 >Hardware Setup:</h3><ul ><li >Start by placing the NodeMCU on a breadboard as shown below:</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/9ea0f7d0-722d-4b6d-b12d-2aaabd90cbe4.png /><figcaption>ESP8266 On a Breadboard</figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Place the PIR Sensor on the breadboard as shown below:</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/c76e00d1-9c9e-4cdf-8e78-ca2dd069ca78.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Make the breadboard connections as shown :</li></ul>VCC &lt;&lt;=&gt;&gt; VCCGND &lt;&lt;=&gt;&gt; GNDOUT &lt;&lt;=&gt;&gt; D5<ul ><li >Done!</li></ul><h3 >Software Setup:</h3>This project uses <a href="https://platformio.org/">PlatformIO</a> for compiling and building and for library management and Blynk for real time notifications.PlatformIO Setup:<ul ><li >Make sure you have <a href="https://python.org/">Python</a> on your system by running the command and it should give you its version.</li></ul><pre ><code >$ python --version Python 3.x.x </code></pre><ul ><li >Install PlatformIO with pip.</li></ul><pre ><code >$ pip install platformio </code></pre>Blynk Setup:<ul ><li >Download the Blynk App on your phone.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/5b95e741-7c4e-4b2b-be0e-538c2d45b838.jfif /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Create an account.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/0bd56770-27a3-472d-ba9d-e42072db92ff.jfif /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Scan the QR code given below with Blynk to get the project.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/6c2990fe-5ec8-4154-af7b-b6eba754175a.jpeg /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Open your email and get the Authentication Token of the project.\</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/148f0cb0-e511-4351-9dc5-db4baa38455a.jfif /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Keep the Authentication token handy.</li></ul>Get thecode:<ul ><li >Download the project from <a href="https://github.com/kumaraditya303/ESP8266-Blynk-Home-Security.git">Github</a> Repository.</li></ul><ul ><li >Open the file config.h in include directory and update the credentials.</li></ul><pre ><code >/** * Configuration file */ // You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App. // Go to the Project Settings (nut icon). constexpr auto auth = &#34;&#34;; // Your WiFi credentials // Set password to &#34;&#34; for open networks. constexpr auto ssid = &#34;&#34;; constexpr auto password = &#34;&#34;; // Your Email address for notification constexpr auto email = &#34;&#34;; // Pin for PIR Sensor constexpr auto PIR_PIN = D5; </code></pre><ul ><li >Plug ESP8266 in your computer and upload the code using the command </li></ul><pre ><code >$ platformio run </code></pre><ul ><li >Done!</li></ul>Whenever the PIR sensor senses an intruder, it will send email as well as mobile notification to the person.Github Repository Link : <a href="https://github.com/kumaraditya303/ESP8266-Blynk-Home-Security.git">https://github.com/kumaraditya303/ESP8266-Blynk-Home-Security.git</a>
