This project demonstrates how to create a motion-activated system using a PIR motion sensor and an Adafruit FunHouse to control HomeKit devices through the itsaSNAP app - all without coding! itsaSNAP is now a bridge between Adafruit IO feeds and HomeKit devices, allowing automatic updates to HomeKit devices based on sensor data.
You'll use Adafruit IO and a FunHouse running WipperSnapper firmware to configure a PIR motion sensor. Then, through the itsaSNAP app, your sensor's data can control various Apple HomeKit devices - from native Apple accessories to third-party products like Nanoleaf light strips!
itsaSNAP is a simple iOS app that explores Adafruit IO. It lets you send data to your Adafruit IO feeds and link it to control or monitor your internet-connected projects. We recently added HomeKit functionality. You can now send Adafruit IO data to HomeKit devices. This lets you control and check Adafruit devices from your phone, anywhere.
WipperSnapper is a firmware designed to turn any WiFi-capable board into an Internet-of-Things device without programming a single line of code. WipperSnapper connects to Adafruit IO, a web platform designed (by Adafruit!) to display, respond, and interact with your project's data.
Simply load the WipperSnapper firmware onto your board, add credentials, and plug it into power. Your board will automatically register itself with your Adafruit IO account.
From there, you can add components to your board such as buttons, switches, potentiometers, sensors, and more! Components are dynamically added to hardware, so you can immediately start interacting, logging, and streaming the data your projects produce without writing code.
