My board uses Nodemcu Lolin V3 with wifi manager : Why does my pir sensor always give motion detection notifications continuously doesn’t stop when the V3 button is on?
when the V3 button is off, it works great because the PIR Sensor is off…
can anyone here help me, please?
Thankyou

Are you saying that GPIO14 is continuously HIGH?

Pete.

yes… OUT pin on PiR Sensor connected to D5(gpio14) on nodemcu lolin…

can you help me?
thanks

Well, if the PIR is always pulling this pin HIGH regardless of whether it’s triggered then that’s the issue you need to look at.

Pete.

is there any error from my code ?

First of all make sure your PIR is 3v. If it is not most of them have either a jumper you can change or some have a solder pad labeled H that you solder a supply to your 3.3 on the nodeMcu.

If in doubt post a picture of front and back of the PCB.

THIS IS my PIR Sensor connected to the Nodemcu via PCb board…
Pin On PIR SENSOR Connected to Nodemcu like this

VCC to Vin nodemcu
Out To D5(gpio14) nodemcu
GND To G nodemcu

What is the pad labelled “Switch Power” connected to?

Pete.

Switch Power is a switch that only cuts off vcc for nodemcu and relays

solved…potensio on pir sensor is too maximum soo pir continuously HIGH

Which is what @daveblynk said 3 days ago :roll_eyes:

Pete.
