ESP8266_PIRv2 | ESP8266 Huzzah Deep Sleep Mode PIR Motion Alarm

ESP8266_PIRv2 is a C++ library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi, Arduino applications. ESP8266_PIRv2 has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

ESP8266 Huzzah Deep Sleep Mode PIR Motion Alarm using IFTTT. Version 2 – This version changes the ESP8266 to use Deep Sleep mode to significantly save battery power. Requires extra hardware. See original version for simpler hardware (and shorter battery life). This version is only needed if you wish to run the unit using AA batteries. After 4 months and hundreds of triggers, still running strong on the same set of batteries. 2018-06-24 - Updated HTTPSRedirect Library from We just installed a Cat Door in our garage and I wanted to see how many times per day (actually night) our cat went in and out the door. We could tell the cat was using the door as we would find it outside sometimes and inside sometimes. So, breaking out my parts box, I found a PIR motion sensor and ESP8266. I used the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 as it has a regulator for powering the 3.3v ESP as well as good tutorials for initially getting it set up. I also used the Arduino IDE with the ESP8266 library, since I was already quite familiar with using it with the Huzzah ESP8266. I decided to interface this to IFTTT (www.ifttt.com) to trigger any number of types of events. Initially, just an email each time motion was detected. SEE: ESP8266_PIRv2.pdf for full details.
