# Personal use home security system

> Leverage W5300 on Raspberry Pi Pico to implement a personal use intruder alarm system.

Original author: Personal use home security system

## Components

- **WIZnet WIZ830MJ** x 1: W5300 module ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/ioModule/wiz830mj))
- **Raspberry Pi Pico** x 1: RP2040 dev board ([docs](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html))
- Software: **Arduino IDE**: IDE ([docs](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software))

## Article

Per HomeGuide (https://homeguide.com/costs/home-security-system-cost),

the average cost of a wireless home security system ranges between $200 and $2,000.

The cost includes equipment, installation and monthly fee.

This project intends to make a low cost personal use intruder alarm system.

A passive infra-red (PIR) detector acts as a motion detector to monitor intruder entry.

The detector sends a signal to a microcontroller which sends a message to cloud via Wiznet's W5300 chip. Finally, user receives a instant message about the detector signal.

Hardware

1. A WIZ830MJ module mounted with Wiznet's W5300 TCP/IP Core Offload Engine (TOE) chip (<https://www.wiznet.io/product-item/wiz830mj/>)

2. A Raspberry Pi Pico (<https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/rp2040.html>)

3. A LED lamp with build-in Passive Infra-Red (PIR) detector (<https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.342b2e8dz8H8RM&id=638048049460&_u=b3no53d890f9>)

4. [optional] A WIZ830MJ-to-Pico DIY connection board. Notice that user may connect WIZ830MJ to Pi Pico board by wire wrapping, as connection schematic is available online. (https://teamprofnet.wordpress.com/wiz830mj-rp2040-dev-kit/)

5. A Internet accessible router with Ethernet port

6. A mobile phone with Whatsapp APP (<https://www.whatsapp.com/>) installed and configured.
