Hello forum : )
I want to create a motion-sensor that triggers, whenever something is interrupting its sensor-ray. Sadly, I have no socket around that place, therefore I require something with a low energy consumption and battery.
Battery can be charged over night, no need for 24/7. 10 hours are enough!
I would like to connect wireless with an LED-light, too - informing me, whenever something hit the motion-ray (animals). Motion-Ray does not need to be long, door-frame length.
Additionally, I need some sort of wireless connection. I might use SSH instead of an LED, too.
Is Arduino/Genuino a viable solution for this?
Or maybe C.H.I.P? Though they are just small computers, so I doubt they could live from a battery that long.
I have no idea about batteries... rechargeable would be great!
I would rather not spend too much on this - staying around 30€ but probably not doable (especially with the battery).
Thanks a lot for your time : )
