Home Security Motion Sensor Kit v5
ESP32 Home Security Motion Sensor Kit – Classify Intruders from Routine Movement
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your ESP32 into a security guard that actually knows the difference between you walking past a sensor and an actual intrusion. This kit gives you the exact sensors and code patterns to build a home security system that watches doors, windows, and motion – then classifies event sequences to eliminate false alarms and fire real MQTT alerts when things look suspicious.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a working intrusion detection network with a central ESP32 hub, a PIR motion sensor for room monitoring, and two reed switches on doors or windows. The system continuously reads sensor events, sequences them in time, and applies threshold rules to decide whether a pattern is “normal home movement” or a potential break-in. When an intrusion pattern is detected, the ESP32 publishes an alert via MQTT that can be received by a phone, dashboard, or cloud service.
What You'll Learn
- Program event-driven logic on the ESP32 to timestamp and correlate PIR and reed switch activations
- Classify movement patterns using simple window-based rules (routine vs. suspicious sequence)
- Use MQTT protocol to send real-time security alerts to any broker or client
- Integrate physical sensors into a lightweight IoT firmware without overwhelming the microcontroller

| Shipping coordination | Multiple sellers, multiple delays | One shipment from Bengaluru in 3-5 days |
Who This Kit Is For
Designed specifically for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring IoT in their curriculum, ATL Tinkering Lab members preparing for national challenges, and first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE learners who want a working security project for demonstrations or hackathons like Smart India Hackathon. The build complexity is beginner-friendly but the logic teaches pattern classification that maps directly to real-world smart home applications.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project – accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion via the QR code for step-by-step debugging; if that doesn’t resolve it, message us on WhatsApp for live human guidance within hours.
Can I use this kit with my existing home Wi-Fi?
Absolutely. The ESP32 connects to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and publishes MQTT alerts to any broker you configure – ideal for integrating into a broader home automation system.
Does the sensor pattern classification work without internet?
The classification logic runs fully on the ESP32 itself, so local detection and buzzer/LED alerts work offline. MQTT alert delivery needs Wi-Fi connectivity to the broker.
What if my PIR sensor triggers too many false alarms?
The AI companion includes tuning tips for the HC-SR501’s sensitivity and time-delay trimmers, plus code examples to set cooldown periods and pattern filters that drastically reduce false positives.
Home Security — PIR and door reed switch event sequences on ESP32 classify intrusion vs routine movement pattern — MQTT security alert.
