How to Make a $10 WiFi Security System at Home? No Fees and Works Anywhere!

Intro: How to Make a $10 WiFi Security System at Home? No Fees and Works Anywhere!

How to make a $10 wifi security notification system at home? There is no charge and it works everywhere! If the PIR motion sensor detects any motion it sends a notification to your mobile phone. ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi module, PIR motion sensor and 3.3V voltage regulator were used in this project.

STEP 1: Video Tutorial - Step by Step

In this video you can see the project process step by step. You can also see in this project how to build a 3.3V power station, how to upload code to the ESP-01 using the FTDI, how to programming the ESP-01 using the Arduino IDE, and create free WiFi scenarios with IFTTT.

STEP 2: Required Hardware

• ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi Module
• FTDI USB To TTL Adapter
• Mini PIR Motion Sensor
• LD1117 Voltage Regulator
• 1000uF Electrolytic Capacitor
• 100nF Ceramic Capacitor
• On-Off Switch Button
• LED
• Mini Breadboard
• Jumper Wires

Other Hardware (Optional):

• Digital Multimeter
• Alligator USB Connector
