Background
This project was developed in order to remotely notify an individual if motion has been detected. This project can be used in a large variety of ways to provide security and information about activity. To do this, two particle photons are used to remotely communicate. The first photon is connected to the PIR sensor. When the sensor is triggered, that data is then sent to the second photon using the IFTTT software which will then send a text message alerting the user of the detected motion.
Setup:As stated before, the first photon is connected to the PIR sensor. When the PIR sensor is triggered, the photon is then activated to transmit the signal. Also upon the PIR sensor being triggered, the photon uses the IFTTT software along with a google sheets applet to display live data of the motion detected. This will create a bar graph displaying the date and time at which the sensor was triggered.
A second photon is also used in this set up. This photon will subscribe to the event published by the first photon and use an IFTTT applet to send a text message to the user whenever the sensor is triggered. An LED is also connected to the second photon and upon receiving the signal will light up.
Data:To provide live data for this event, google sheets was used to collect and graph the data. For this data, a bar graph was chosen as it provided the most logical way to describe the data as it is just a singular event
