Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are great for detecting motion in a small area around the sensor. The 1µA SparkFun EKMB1107112 Qwiic PIR uses an EKM-series PIR sensor from Panasonic paired with an ATTiny84 to interact with it using I2C with the Qwiic system. The EKMB-series PIR sensors are optimized for small movements to offer motion-sensing options for battery powered applications due to the low standby current draw of the sensor (1µA).

Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are great for detecting motion in a specific area around the sensor. The SparkFun Qwiic PIR – 1uA (EKMB1107112) uses a version of the EKM-series PIR sensors from Panasonic to offer low profile motion-sensing options over I2C for both battery powered and continuously powered applications.
PIR sensors do not return specific distance data like distance sensors. Instead, the sensors measure IR light coming from objects in their detection area making them perfect for applications such as controlling power to devices like lights, cameras, screens, etc. automatically when motion is detected.
Features: Default I2C address 0x12 (Alternate 0x13 selectable by solder jumper); 2x Qwiic connectors; 2×3 header on the back of the board for reprogramming the ATTiny84
Also Features: Lens diameter – 10.4mm; Lens Height – 10.9mm; 1µA standby current consumption; 5m detection distance; 90° x 90° (±45°) detection area
Note: The sensitivity of passive infrared sensors is influenced by environmental conditions, so a performance evaluation test under representative conditions is recommended.
