## How to use? 

1. Follow manual instructions to plug the Motion sensor with appropriate wires into the ESP32 device.

2. Create a Gmail account (or use an existing one).

   - Turn on two-factor authentication and obtain an app password. It should be in this format `xxxx-xxxx-xxxx`

4. Connect your M5GO device or ESP32 board. Click the `connected` button in the bottom-left corner and ensure the connection is successful. 

5. Visit [m5stack website](https://flow.m5stack.com/) and insert [main.py](https://github.com/AdityaRao127/motion-detector-system/blob/main/main.py) into the file.

6. Add the environment variables into the appropriate fields. Choose the appropriate domain name for the `sender_email`:

  - AT&T: **number@txt.att.net** for a normal text message (SMS), or **number@mms.att.net** for a multimedia message (MMS)

  - Verizon: **number@vtext.com** for both SMS and MMS messages

  - Sprint PCS: **number@messaging.sprintpcs.com** for both SMS and MMS messages

  - T-Mobile: **number@tmomail.net** for both SMS and MMS messages

   [Domain info taken from source](https://www.wikihow.com/Send-a-Text-from-Email)

6. Name the Python file `main` if it's not already. Then run the [main.py](https://github.com/AdityaRao127/motion-detector-system/blob/main/main.py) and test if it works.

   - `1` means motion detected

   - `0` means no motion detected

8. Change M5GO device into APP Mode -> Reset Device -> Go to Programs -> Scroll down and select the `main.py` file.

   - Since you are in APP mode, the device will run `main.py`  whenever the M5GO device is online.

  

## How does the motion detector work? 

The PIR sensor detects the heat emitted by a person or object, and this detection signal is sent to the microcontroller, which then sends an email to the specified recipient.
