PIR 8 Controller – Smart LED Strip Motion & Timer Dimmer
The PIR 8 Controller is a multifunctional motion sensor dimmer designed for LED strip lights and tape lighting systems. Compatible with 12V and 24V LED setups, it intelligently detects human motion and adjusts brightness automatically, providing both convenience and energy savings. With built-in timer functions, it can keep lights on for a pre-set duration after motion detection, making it ideal for home automation, offices, warehouses, stairways, and display signage lighting.
This controller supports sign control input, enabling external devices to trigger or control LED brightness remotely. Its compact design allows for easy installation behind LED profiles, inside cabinets, or within junction boxes. Perfect for DIY smart lighting projects using Arduino automation systems or integrating with other IoT modules such as NodeMcu.
