Automate Your Staircase Lights with PIR Sensor & Arduino Uno Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Step onto the stairs and a gentle glow lights your way—automatically, no hands needed. This beginner-friendly kit lets you build a real PIR motion sensor staircase light that stays on for exactly 30 seconds, perfect for late-night trips or energy-saving home automation. You’ll assemble a circuit that reacts to movement and controls an LED strip with a relay, just like a professional home automation system.

What You'll Build

You'll create a working motion‑triggered light using a PIR sensor, Arduino Uno, and a 5V relay. When someone walks near the sensor, five white LEDs illuminate for 30 seconds. Mount the breadboard near a staircase, and every time motion is detected, the steps light up—no switches, no timing hassles. It’s a real‑world automation project you can use at home.

What You'll Learn

• How a PIR sensor detects motion and sends a digital signal to Arduino
• Controlling a relay module with Arduino to switch higher‑current loads
• Writing timing functions in Arduino code to hold an output for a set duration
• Using diodes and resistors to protect circuits and limit LED current
