Home Security Motion Sensor Plus Kit with Arduino Uno + LDR
Home Security & Sleep Mode Automation Kit with Arduino Uno, LDR and RTC
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine walking into your bedroom at night and the room knows it’s bedtime. The lights gently dim, the thermostat adjusts to a comfortable sleep temperature, and the security motion sensor arms itself — all without touching a switch. This kit lets you build exactly that, blending light detection, real-time clock logic, and PIR motion sensing into a single intelligent system.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and program a smart bedroom controller that reads ambient light via LDRs, tracks time with a DS3231 RTC module, and uses a HC-SR501 PIR sensor to trigger security alerts. The system automatically dims lights through a relay when darkness coincides with your set bedtime, and switches a thermostat (or fan/heater) to sleep mode. An OLED display shows the current state and security status at a glance.
What You'll Learn
- Programming time-based automation logic with an RTC module
- Interfacing analog light sensors (LDRs) and calibrating thresholds
- Controlling AC appliances safely using a 4-channel relay module
- Fusing multiple sensor inputs (light, time, motion) for smart decision-making

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building electronics projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students, and ATL Tinkering Lab members exploring smart home automation. It is also a hands-on project for Smart India Hackathon participants or hobbyists at VIT, BITS, and NIT campuses wanting to prototype real-world IoT security logic with live sensor feedback.
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?
Scan the QR code provided to get instant support from our AI companion trained on this project, or reach out via WhatsApp for human help.
Can I customize the sleep mode timing?
Yes, the Arduino code is fully open-source and can be modified to set your own bedtime and thermostat thresholds, displayed on the OLED.
Is the relay module safe to control home lights?
The 4-channel relay module is designed for 250V AC loads and includes diodes for protection. Follow the included wiring diagram carefully; the kit is rated for lamps and small heaters up to 10A.
Will this work with my existing home security system?
This kit builds a standalone system. You can integrate it with siren outputs or a Wi-Fi module (not included) to send alerts, but as built it provides local automation and a PIR-based intrusion alert on the OLED screen.
Home Security — LDR and RTC and PIR together dim lights and set thermostat for sleep mode at bedtime.
