DIY Arduino Motion Detector that Sends Text Message Alert [Tutorial] Beginners

This tutorial shows you how to create an intruder alarm that sends you text message alerts when motion is detected. This may sound complicated but I am pretty confident any beginner with electronics should be able to do this just fine. The range sensor senses motion and tells your Arduino board to send the text (SMS). So you can leave the intruder detector at home, connected to your network, and still receive the SMS alerts, no matter where you are, as long as you have cell phone service.
This is a pretty quick and easy project, it takes maybe 45 minutes to complete and the parts can be had for $60-$70. The main cost is an Arduino board with WIFI capabilities, however once you have that it can be used in tons of other projects and much more fun can be had...

Parts you will NEED:

-HC-SRO4 Range sensor

-Arduino Yun board or Leonardo with a WIFI shield

-4 jumper wires

-A mini breadboard (if you want)

-A 9V battery

-A 9V battery box with barrel plug and on/off switch

Hey dude Can I do with Arduino nano? Or with Uno board?

[jcodg]

Can I use an Arduino Uno 3 instead of the two?

[sanderstockman]

I normally dont subscribe on youtube channels but your channel is just amazing. good job man!

is it possible with arduino uno mega 2560?

[z.siblings]

oh my god THANK YOU?? this video tackles the exact project im working on i appreciate this so much

[robboss]

Are you able to use arduino code to make your computer go to a link?

[chonggee]

It is really awesome !! does it need to connect to laptop everytime to sense the motion ? or wireless?

Can we use nodemcu in place of Arduino Yun?

[alexlim]

What to do if I have arduino Uno only ??Any suggestions or tutorial?? Thx

Question: Will the Temboo and Twilio work with a Huzzah Feather?

[imtiaziqbal]

I am trying to do the same using MKR1000. No luck so far. Any insights you can share?

[davidvalens]

can you do the same thing with a sound detector? would love to see a video on this

[s.shahin]

Can we use Aurdini uni for the project

[maryangelirempillo]

Can i modify it and use accelerometer instead. For earthquake detection?

[jasminrojiya]

i want to use this project for sensing someone else parking their car in my parking in my building can you suggest how can we give it network connectivity there

[markiee]

Could someone help me with the temboochoreo stuff

[blvckmoto_]

Will this be able to work for users outside of the us/any other part of the world?

[michaelbradish]

Would I be able to adapt this to send an alert if a patient bed exit alarm is triggered?

[JonathanRogler]

you said you're using the arduino leonardo but the temboo drop down doesn't have that option, and I'm using the ESP8266 Wifi card. I too keep getting that error message no matching function for call to
