RCWL-0516 microwave radar motion sensor module uses a “microwave Doppler radar” technique to detect moving objects. Its advantage over traditional PIRs is that it can detect presence through obstacles with a sensing distance of 3m average in real life conditions.

Configuration

Wiring

RCWL-0516 ESP266
GND GND
VIN 5V
OUT GPIOx
