motion sensor

As we mentioned in the previous article, some types of sensors have a fairly long history.Motion sensors have transformed from Chinese tubular bells to complex digital devices that work on ultrasonic, microwave, photovoltaic and infrared operating principles.Security alarm systems with motion detection are widely used in museums, warehouses, hazardous areas, and many other places where unauthorized entry is prohibited.IoT manufacturers equip industrial and home lighting systems with IoT motion sensors to provide automatic contactless switching of lights.In addition to a positive user experience, a significant energy reduction can be achieved thanks to motion sensor-based smart lighting。Another promising area where motion detection is gaining momentum is the touchless gesture control of modern gadgets.Fitness trackers are able to recognize whether we stay, walk or run.After the 3.5 jack was removed from the iPhone 7, Apple and other smartphone makers began removing physical control buttons one by one from their devices.It will come soon when mobile devices become the full screen of our facial expressions. Then the motion sensor will rule.

Regardless of the type of IoT sensor, any end point is where IoT begins.Sensors generate primary signals reflecting one or another property of the object on which the sensor is mounted.No sensors - no data.A wider variety of sensors has emerged, providing more flexible IoT development.We greatly appreciate our natural sensors - eyes, ears, fingers, etc. and fear losing any of our sensory abilities.The aforementioned IIoT sensors constitute only a small fraction of all available data-generating devices.Nonetheless, even within a given brief list of sensors, deep expertise can enable any IoT solution provider to create robust IoT systems for a wide range of applications.
