Needs calibration
Had to tweak the pot quite a bit to avoid false positives from sunlight. Works well indoors though.

Easy to wire
The 3-wire setup was straightforward. LED indicators are helpful for debugging connections.

Good sensitivity
Detects flame quickly. Just remember this isn't a certified home alarm device, but great for prototypes.

Great for Arduino projects
Works perfectly with my Uno. Sensitivity is adjustable via the potentiometer which is very convenient for testing.
Q: Does it come with cables?
A: No, headers are included but wiring cables are sold separately.
Q: Is it compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it works with any microcontroller supporting 3.3V or 5V logic levels.
Q: Can it work outdoors?
A: It may be affected by direct sunlight due to IR interference. Best used indoors or shaded.
Q: Can this detect smoke?
A: No, this module detects infrared radiation from flames, not smoke particles.
Q: What is the difference between 3-wire and 4-wire?
A: 4-wire includes an analog output (AO) for variable sensitivity reading, while 3-wire is digital only.
