Description
i want to make a project that activates a system alarm when something enters in a zone where is a movement sensor a laser sensor and a light sensor and then it gives me an email with the the time spend in the zone at the time that the alarm activated
Motivation
For me an alarm system is very interesting so to do one is absolutly grandious
