Office Occupancy Tracker Pro Kit with Arduino Uno + LDR
Office Occupancy Tracker Pro Kit — Build a Smart Dark-Activated Motion Light with Arduino Uno
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Walk into a dark room and watch the light turn on automatically — only when it’s truly dark. Then see it stay on for 30 seconds after you leave, just like high-end office occupancy sensors. This kit gives you a real hands-on experience building the exact logic used in security lights, hotel corridors, and energy-saving building systems.
What You'll Build
You’ll create a compact smart light circuit that uses a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect human presence and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) to measure the room’s brightness. When motion is detected and the ambient light falls below a set threshold, the white LEDs illuminate for a full 30 seconds. It’s a genuine prototype you can place on a desk, mount near an entryway, or present at a school science exhibition. The build mimics real occupancy sensors found in corporate offices and hotels.
What You'll Learn
- How a PIR sensor translates body heat movement into a digital HIGH/LOW signal
- Reading analog LDR values and setting a darkness threshold in Arduino code
- Using conditional if-else logic to combine inputs from two sensors and control an output
- Prototyping circuits on a breadboard and powering an Arduino project with a 9V battery

Who This Kit Is For
This beginner-friendly kit is perfect for young inventors ages 10 and up who want to start building real-world automation. It fits CBSE class 5-12 science projects, ATL Tinkering Lab activities, and early engineering explorations. Whether you’re preparing a Smart India Hackathon junior entry, a B.Tech mini project, or simply curious about how smart offices save energy, you’ll find every step explained clearly.
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 on the box for the AI companion that walks you through every wire connection and code line. You can also message our support team on WhatsApp for personalized help during your build session.
Will the light turn on if the room is already bright?
No, the LDR continuously checks the ambient light. The code is written so that the LED activates only when motion is detected AND the light level is below a darkness threshold you can adjust yourself.
Can I change the 30-second delay to a different time?
Absolutely. The Arduino code is fully customizable — you can modify just one number in the delay parameter to set the light to stay on for any duration you need.
Is this kit suitable for a 6-year-old with no prior electronics experience?
While the age range is 5-15, we recommend adult supervision for younger children, especially when handling the 9V battery and small components. The step-by-step AI companion makes it easy, but some basic reading and hand-holding helps get the most out of the project.
Office — PIR detects motion and switches on LED for 30 seconds. Only activates when LDR confirms darkness.
