Motion-activated devices have been around for a while. They are an excellent way to save money if you have a habit of leaving the lights or fan on while you’re not in the room.
With the FunHouse, it’s easy to set up your own motion activated device using a PIR sensor. This guide will take you through setting up a FunHouse board to control an outlet strip that you can plug a light or fan into. For this guide, we’re going to use a fan.
This project is designed so you can either use the FunHouse as a standalone device or interface with Home Assistant…

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
