If you're savvy and want to do a bit more home monitoring, these interesting sensor ideas might be worth trying.

When smart home devices were first introduced, motion sensors were among the most interesting. This sensor would use differences in light to detect activity in a given space—impressive, but imprecise.

Intelligent MEMS sensors on breakout boards jumpstart many maker projects. Off-the-shelf drivers can get an analog sensor reading from a prototype in minutes. If sample rates are in seconds instead of ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It's grown increasingly easier, not to mention cheaper, to build out a smart home as prices fall and availability grows. In order to add smart ...

This project seeks to integrate smart fabric sensors and actuators into comfortable garment devices providing unobtrusive prevention options for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that are not currently ...

ST’s web-based tool, AIoT Craft, simplifies the development and provisioning of node-to-cloud AIoT projects that use the machine-learning core (MLC) of ST’s smart MEMS sensors. Intended for both ...

A common hacker upgrade to an espresso machine is to improve stability and performance with a better temperature controller, but [Schematix]’s Smart Coffee project doesn’t stop there. It entirely ...

Driving global innovation through precision sensing technology, intelligent data integration, and sustainable water ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Since it would be challenging to find all the different types of sensors in one place, we decided to put together a list of some of the best ...
