PIR Motion Detection with Email Notification

How to build a Robot on an Arduino that can be activated by a PIR Motion Sensor:

by J.B. Wylzan

Project 36:  PIR Motion Sensor

This project shows how to use a PIR motion detector 
that sends an email whenever motion is detected.

Infrared Sensor

Hardware:

1 PIR Motion Sensor
1 Led (optional)
1 servo(optional)
1 speaker (optional)

connecting wires

breadboard
Ethernet Shield

Arduino R3 UNO board

Block Diagram:

Note: Although the sensor above is not a PIR but a Humidity and Temperature sensor
the schematic is still the same. (1=gnd, + = 5v,  S = ~)

Arduino Sketch:

TembooAccount.h contains your Temboo account information and must be included
alongside your sketch. To do so, make a new tab in Arduino, call it TembooAccount.h,
and copy this content into it.

Keeping your account information in a separate file means you can share the

*/


Challenges:

1. Add a blinking Led to indicate motion is detected.
2. Play a warning tone when motion is detected.
3. Use other types of sensors
4. Send yourself an hourly temperature/humidity reports via email.

Python Code:

/* You need to install Python on your PC.
 The example code is public domain */

import time
import serial
import smtplib

TO = 'putyour@email.here'
GMAIL_USER = 'putyour@email.here'
GMAIL_PASS = 'putyourpasswordhere'

SUBJECT = 'Intrusion!!'
TEXT = 'Your PIR sensor detected movement'

ser = serial.Serial('COM4', 9600)
