Reliable and affordable
Bought five of these for different rooms. All of them are functioning perfectly. The induction switch is very responsive to movement.

Solid performance
Works well for a simple motion detector setup. The angle is wide enough to cover a standard doorway. Just ensure you provide stable voltage.

Good sensitivity, needs calibration
Great sensor overall. I had to spend a few minutes adjusting the potentiometers to get the delay time right for my hallway light, but once set, it works flawlessly.

Perfect for my Arduino project
This D203S module worked exactly as expected. The detection range is impressive and the black lens looks sleek. Easy to wire up with standard jumper cables.

Great for learning electronics
Used this for a university prototype. The documentation online combined with this hardware made the integration smooth. Highly recommend for beginners.
Q: What is the maximum distance this module can detect?
A: Under ideal conditions, the detection range is approximately 5 to 7 meters, depending on the ambient temperature and the size of the moving object.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: There is a small potentiometer labeled 'S' on the board. Turn it clockwise to increase sensitivity and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Use a small screwdriver for adjustment.
Q: Can this sensor detect motion through glass?
A: No, standard PIR sensors like the D203S cannot detect infrared radiation through glass effectively. It requires a direct line of sight or an open window.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins?
A: Yes, it is compatible. However, ensure you connect the VCC to a 5V pin and use a logic level converter if necessary for the signal pin, though many users report direct 3.3V compatibility works for basic tests.
Q: Does this come with mounting screws?
A: The module typically comes with pre-drilled holes for mounting, but screws are not included in the package. Standard M2 or M3 screws fit well.
