Automation
technologies are increasingly being used in modern security and access control
systems. Traditional door locking systems require manual operation and may
cause inconvenience in situations where automatic access is preferred. This
paper proposes an Automatic Door Unlocking System Using a Passive Infrared
(PIR) Sensor to detect human presence and control door unlocking automatically.
The PIR sensor detects motion based on infrared radiation emitted by human
bodies. When a person approaches the door, the PIR sensor sends a signal to the
microcontroller, which processes the signal and activates the door unlocking
mechanism using a motor or electronic lock. The proposed system aims to improve
convenience, security, and energy efficiency in residential and commercial
environments. The system is designed to operate automatically without requiring
physical contact, making it suitable for smart homes and automated access
control applications. Future improvements may include integration with
IoT-based monitoring and smartphone control for enhanced functionality.
