PIR sensor controller for Raspberry Pi

This is a python library to manage a PIR sensor.

Features

- Config
    - Configure the GPIO pin
    - Configure the time-lapse of detecting
    - Configure the performing action
- Perform an action when the PIR sensor detects movement
- Automatize trigger actions when the PIR sensor dectects movement
    - Start the process
    - Stop the process

Example

Throughout this section we will use a real example, using the GPIO pin 23 and a dummy function.

Pin connections

Code under Raspberry Pi

from rpi_pir import PIR


# Action to perform when the PIR detects something
def dummy_function(name):
    print("I have detected ".format(name))


# Arguments for the action
args = ('Juan',)

# Instantiate the class
sensor = PIR(gpio_pin=23, time_lapse=1, action=dummy_function, action_args=args)

# Monitoring for just one action
sensor.one_action()# Continuous monitoring
# sensor.start()
# Stop continuous monitoring
# sensor.stop()
