FAQ

**Q: How does a PIR sensor work?** A: It measures infrared light radiating from objects in its field of view. It detects the change in infrared energy when a warm body (like a human) passes by.

**Q: Can I connect these alarms to my phone?** A: Yes! By upgrading the microcontroller to an ESP32 or ESP8266, you can send push notifications or emails when the alarm is triggered.
