📘 Lesson 11.3 – Home Security System ( Bluetooth Motion Alert Version )
🎯 Objective of This Lesson
Students will learn:
-
How to enable Bluetooth in ESP32
-
How to send motion alert to mobile
-
How to monitor intrusion wirelessly
-
Real-time motion notification system
Only:
👉 ESP32
👉 PIR Sensor
👉 Mobile Bluetooth Terminal App
📱 Required Mobile App
Install:
-
Serial Bluetooth Terminal (Android)
or -
Any Bluetooth Terminal App
🔌 Hardware Reminder
| PIR Pin | ESP32 Pin |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V |
| GND | GND |
| OUT | GPIO 27 |
🧾 Complete ESP32 Code (Bluetooth Version – Copy & Paste)
#include "BluetoothSerial.h"
BluetoothSerial SerialBT;
#define PIR_PIN 27
int motionState = 0;
int lastState = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
SerialBT.begin("Home_Security"); // Bluetooth device name
pinMode(PIR_PIN, INPUT);
Serial.println("Home Security System Started...");
SerialBT.println("Connected to Home Security System");
Serial.println("Warming up PIR Sensor...");
SerialBT.println("Warming up PIR Sensor...");
delay(30000);
Serial.println("System Ready!");
SerialBT.println("System Ready!");
}
void loop() {
motionState = digitalRead(PIR_PIN);
if (motionState == HIGH && lastState == LOW) {
Serial.println("⚠ MOTION DETECTED! Intruder Alert!");
SerialBT.println("⚠ MOTION DETECTED! Intruder Alert!");
lastState = HIGH;
}
else if (motionState == LOW && lastState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("Area Clear - No Motion");
SerialBT.println("Area Clear - No Motion");
lastState = LOW;
}
delay(200);
}
🧠 Code Explanation (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Include Bluetooth Library
This enables Bluetooth communication in ESP32.
2️⃣ Create Bluetooth Object
Used to send data to mobile device.
3️⃣ Start Bluetooth
Sets device name visible in Bluetooth list.
Mobile will detect:
👉 Home_Security
4️⃣ Warm-Up Delay
PIR requires 30 seconds stabilization time.
5️⃣ Read PIR Output
Returns:
HIGH → Motion detected
LOW → No motion
6️⃣ Motion Alert Logic
Motion just started → Send alert once.
Prevents repeated spam messages.
7️⃣ Motion End Detection
Motion stopped → Send clear message.
8️⃣ Why Use Both Serial & SerialBT?
-
Serial → Computer debugging
-
SerialBT → Mobile monitoring
Professional development practice.
📱 How to Connect Mobile
1️⃣ Upload code
2️⃣ Turn ON Bluetooth
3️⃣ Open Bluetooth Terminal app
4️⃣ Search for device
5️⃣ Select Home_Security
6️⃣ Connect
Now motion alerts will appear on mobile.
📊 Example Bluetooth Output
System Ready!
⚠ MOTION DETECTED! Intruder Alert!
Area Clear – No Motion
🎓 Learning Outcomes
