Here is an ultra simple Arduino Night Alarm project wired around a handful of inexpensive and easily available components. One advantage of using Arduino as a security system is the flexibility!

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

A distance sensor provides basic gesture recognition and a microcontroller with wireless connectivity controls both and provides home automation integration as well.
