5 Connecting external sensors
You can also connect any external sensors to this controller such a DHT11 or DS18B20 temperature sensors, or any analog sensors, or any other ON/OFF type of sensords. By default, a motion sensor is connected to it intenally to D7 input of the controller. You can unplug that, if you want and use external sensors.To connect anything external to it, or to replace the motion sensor it already has, you need to open the box of this device. To open the box and to access the internal green connector, do as shown in the picture below
The green connector is the one to connect any external sensors. Its pin assignments are shown in the picture above. Once a sensor is connected, you need to re-configure the device and select what is connected to D6 and D7. To do that go to https://bhadre.com and click on Admin Dashboard. It may prompt you to login if you are not logged in already. On this dasboard menu, click on Devices Admin. Then click on Configure Device.
