HFS-DC06 5.8GHz Radar Motion Sensor Module | Doppler Detection
HFS-DC06 5.8GHz Microwave Motion Doppler Radar Sensor Module
The HFS-DC06 is a compact 5.8GHz microwave radar sensor that uses the Doppler effect to detect moving objects. It can penetrate non-metallic materials like drywall and plastic, making it suitable for hidden motion detection in automation, security, and lighting projects. With a straightforward digital output and adjustable detection range, it integrates easily with microcontrollers for a wide variety of DIY and professional applications.

What You Can Build With This
- Automatic door opener that triggers when someone approaches
- Motion-activated lighting system for rooms or corridors
- Intruder alarm that senses movement through walls
- Garage parking sensor to detect vehicle presence
Compatibility
Works with any 3.3V or 5V microcontroller like Arduino UNO, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (using level shifting if needed). Its digital output can be read directly on a GPIO pin. Pair with a relay module to control high-voltage devices.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and OUT to any digital input pin. Use the EN pin to enable or disable the sensor (pulled high by default). Mount the sensor away from large metal objects for optimal detection.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and OUT to a digital pin. When motion is detected, the OUT pin goes high (3.3V logic, readable by 5V Arduino).
Can it detect through walls?
Yes, 5.8GHz microwaves pass through non-metallic materials like drywall, wood, and plastic. It can detect motion behind a thin wall or enclosure.
What is the detection angle?
The module has a hemispherical detection pattern covering a wide area, but for best results, position it facing the area you want to monitor.
