PIR Sensor	tutorials/all/pir.html tutorials/all/pir.md chapter/tutorials/all/pir

This code reads PIR sensor triggers from this simple PIR sensor and sends an HTTP request for every trigger, in this case to a Domoticz installation. When motion is constantly detected, this PIR sensor keeps the pin high, in which case this code will keep sending HTTP requests every 10 seconds (configurable with the hold_time variable).

Main (main.py)

import time
from network import WLAN
from machine import Pin
from domoticz import Domoticz

wl = WLAN(WLAN.STA)
d = Domoticz("<ip>", 8080 ,"<hash>")

#config
hold_time_sec = 10

#flags
last_trigger = -10

pir = Pin('G4',mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP)

# main loop
print("Starting main loop")
while True:
    if pir() == 1:
        if time.time() - last_trigger > hold_time_sec:
            last_trigger = time.time()
            print("Presence detected, sending HTTP request")
            try:
                return_code = d.setVariable('Presence:LivingRoom','1')
                print("Request result: "+str(return_code))
            except Exception as e:
                print("Request failed")
                print(e)
    else:
        last_trigger = 0
        print("No presence")

    time.sleep_ms(500)
