PIR Sensor (HC-SR501)
Introduction
Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensors are used to detect motion based on the infrared heat in the surrounding area. This makes them a popular choice when building a system to detect potential intruders or people in general. These sensors can take for 10-60 seconds to warm up, so try to avoid motion during that time.

Schematic
Below is the schematic for using a PIR sensor. It is fairly simple.
Code
Adafruit has a really good tutorial for how these sensors are used and various projects for them. Below is the code for working with a PIR sensor. It should be noted that the PIR sensor does not respond immediately when motion...
