The program for this project just loops round printing a message every time motion is detected, or the magnet is moved away from the door.
We are using the CircuitPython Libraries that are part of adafruit-blinka. See CircuitPython Libraries on Raspberry Pi to get a fresh Raspberry Pi setup.
If you have a running Raspberry Pi with an up to date copy of Raspbian you can simply run the following command to install adafruit-blinka.
$ sudo pip3 install adafruit-blinka

The program sets the pir_sensor
and door_sensor
to be plain old inputs.
The loop then reads each of the inputs in turn and prints a message appropriately. Remember that the door switch warning will be activated when the magnet is removed from the sensor rather than the other way around.
