Office Occupancy Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano
Office Occupancy Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano – Build a Real Visitor Logger
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a corner of your room into a smart office entrance with this Arduino Nano kit. A PIR sensor detects movement, the buzzer plays a cheerful tune, and the LCD displays the exact time of the visit using the DS3231 real-time clock. Keep a digital log of visitors just like a real security system.
What You'll Build
Your completed project will track and timestamp every visitor that passes its PIR sensor, showing the time on a backlit LCD screen. A piezo buzzer sounds a custom tune on detection, and the DS3231 RTC keeps accurate time even when powered off. Mount it at your door or desk to know exactly when someone stops by.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing a PIR motion sensor to detect presence.
- Reading and displaying real-time clock data from the DS3231 RTC.
- Driving a 16x2 LCD via I2C backpack for clear output.
- Programming simple logic on Arduino Nano to trigger a buzzer and log timestamps.

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for students aged 10-12 exploring electronics in ATL Tinkering Labs or at home. Younger makers curious about sensors and real-world logging will enjoy building a smart office gadget that mimics real security systems. A practical first project for anyone starting with Arduino and sensor integration.
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?
Our AI companion provides step-by-step guidance; you can also reach us on WhatsApp for personal help.
Does the kit keep time when the Arduino is off?
Yes, the DS3231 RTC has a coin cell (included) that maintains time even when the main power is disconnected.
Can I change the buzzer tune or message?
Absolutely. The Arduino code is open and you can customize the melody and LCD message to show anything you like.
Is this suitable for school science exhibitions?
It's a complete working model of a visitor tracking system, ideal for demonstrating sensor integration and data logging at school exhibitions.
Office — PIR sensor detects visitor, buzzer plays a tune and LCD shows time of visit — logs visitors with DS3231 RTC.
