Step 1 is to get your Funhouse set up in the Adafruit IO WipperSnapper page. Follow the instructions in the previously mentioned Quickstart guide to do this. 

Set up the PIR sensor

In addition to the built-in LED that we set up from the Quickstart guide, we'll also want to get the PIR motion sensor set up within WipperSnapper.

Create a Feed for the PIR sensor

Now that the FunHouse is connected to WipperSnapper and the PIR sensor and LED are set up, it's time to create a feed. Why? The sensor data needs a home. When the sensor is tripped, we want to send a message to this new feed documenting that movement was detected at a given time.

Set up the Actions

Now that we have a home for our data, we need to point the data to that home when certain events happen. Now it's time to define those events with actions. Here are the actions we'll create:

• Send a message "Turtle moved!" to the motion sensor feed each time the sensor has been activated.
• Send a message "Turtle is still" to the motion sensor feed when there is no longer any movement.
• Set the LED to ON when the sensor is triggered
• Set the LED to OFF when the sensor is not triggered.

First up we want to send a message "Turtle moved!" to the motion sensor feed each time the sensor has been activated.

• If motion sensor is greater than Comparison Value 0
• Then publish a message to Motion sensor activated? feed with Turtle moved!
• Hit save

Create another reactive action for when the turtle is still:

Create two more reactive triggers for the LED:

Why create LED actions?

This lets us know if the motion sensor is properly working when in the calibration step which is coming up soon.

Next up we'll set up the dashboard so we can get some visual feedback on the data.
