ESP32 Wake up with PIR Motion Sensor

[@petergreen3717]

Nice to understand more on this subject. Looking for help on my project also using ESP32 with a PIR motion sensor. Problem is that the sensor is placed inside a mailbox and when its triggered by mail arriving the (metal sided) mail van is in between the sensor and my router effectively blocking off the transmission. My thought was that I could trigger an automation when the sensor resets but how do I configure it for perhaps a 2 minute delay?

That guy going crazy was oddly cathartic

Brilliant tutorial and love the code explanation. Just about to buy first esp32. Would the espCAM package work if separated from the cam board and controller only used do you think? Presume it has interrupts to use. Thanks ahead.

most of the time i keep the MB together with the esp32CAM, but i've recently separated them because i want to use solar power and wire the esp32cam up.

Great tutorial, may you do one with the motion sensor to send message on telegram when motion detected but with the same deep sleep function. Thank you

How to do this with ESP32 Cam?

[@codingwithbrett]

I don't know if you could wake up the ESP32 CAM if the camera detects motion. Having the ESP32 CAM start recording if the PIR sensor detects motion should be possible. The critical thing is to use the right pin for the PIR sensor that wouldn't interfere with the camera. I'll give it a go some time.
