I want to build one of these, I know I can build one but we all know there is no fun to be had there.
I am thinking either pico-w or ESP32 with a web frontend, for the bit I know less about some questions
1/ For the solar panel is there anything I need to be aware of? Waterproof, power etc or will any one do
2/ For the lights much the same, any special considerations. power etc
3/ For powering the microcontroller,
a) can I use the solar panel or should I have a different power source
b if different, what do I use, battery pack or connected to mains. Sure both are possible but want the expert recommendations
4/ Finally sensor I was thinking off is https://www.elprocus.com/working-of-different-types-of-motion-sensors/
Thanks for listening
