Does anyone know how i can send information to the web through motion sensors?
I want to basically check if someone walked into a room, so if X enters or leaves a room , uptick 1.If X leaves a room uptick -1. However i want the upticks to be sent to an online database.Borek said:Please elaborate, this is rather ambiguous so far.
In general you should connect the sensor to something capable of both reading the sensor state and forwarding the information. Arduino with WiFi shield, ESP2866 module, Raspberry Pi (Zero should be enough) - something like that.
but i want to use a commercial wifi sensor.Building it my self would involve liabilities since i am selling a system.Borek said:OK.
My advice still holds.

Kind of , i want to be able to manipulate the data.Also i want to be for small rooms , thus if it shouldn't detect motion past a limited angle.(The latter could probably be fixed with just fancy cardboard.anorlunda said:Do you mean something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7D557R/?tag=pfamazon01-20
If you don't already know how to design it, it may make sense to become a retail reseller of a product that other people already make.

anorlunda said:Manipulation would typically be done in the smart phone app that received the data.
The software part, how could i send raw data into my computer so i can manipulate with a database software.Borek said:So is the problem with manipulating the data, connecting existing WiFi sensor to the database on some computer, or about making a sensor that is able to send the information to the database?
Or is it all at the same time?

The purpose of sending data via motion sensors with WIFI technology is to collect and transmit real-time data on movement and activity. This can be used for various applications such as monitoring physical activity, tracking the movement of objects, and detecting any changes in the environment.
The most commonly used motion sensors for WIFI data transmission are accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. These sensors work together to measure motion, orientation, and magnetic fields, respectively. This combination allows for accurate and comprehensive data collection.
WIFI technology enables effortless data transmission through motion sensors by providing a wireless connection for the sensors to communicate with the internet. This eliminates the need for physical cables and allows for real-time data transmission without any manual effort.
The advantages of using WIFI technology for data transmission with motion sensors include faster and more reliable data transfer, increased mobility and flexibility, and the ability to connect multiple sensors to a single network. WIFI also allows for remote monitoring and control of the sensors.
One limitation of using WIFI technology for data transmission with motion sensors is the potential for interference from other electronic devices or obstacles in the environment. Additionally, WIFI networks may be limited in range, which could affect the data collection in larger or outdoor spaces.
