Process

Using the precedents from hackster.io on Motion Sensors, I started building the motion sensor circuit first. I began with checking the motion sensor function using the LED and it did not function properly initially. I had mixed up the input pin and the voltage pin for the sensor due to which the circuit did not function properly. On connecting the input pin in between the voltage and ground pin, the sensor started functioning properly. Once the sensor started functioning well, I published the code and created an account in IFTTT. In IFTTT, 'this' was connected to Particle and 'that' was connected to Pushover. After downloading the Pushover app, I registered my phone as one of the devices on the Pushover website. Every time the event was published, a notification pops up on my phone, indicating motion in the specified area.
