Arduino Door Alarm Sensor using Magnetic Reed Switch

Contents hide

Introduction

Most of the time it happens our children open the fridge door and leave it open Also sometimes we need more security in our garages and doors so this DIY Door Alarm is useful in such kind of application. So Today we are going to make a simple “Door Alarm Sensor” using Arduino and a magnetic reed switch and buzzer. We use an atmega328p chip here in our designed PCB.

Overall circuit working is simple. It simply beeps a buzzer whenever the door is left open. So let get’s started making it without wasting time.

This Project is sponsored by PCBWay. They have an open-source community, people can share their design projects with each other. Moreover, every time people place an order for your board, PCBWay will donate 10% of the cost of PCB to you, for your contribution to the Open Source Community.

Steps for Making Arduino Door Alarm

Connect Arduino to PC via USB cable
Open Arduino IDE, select the right board and port
Copy the above code and open it with Arduino IDE
Click the Upload button on Arduino IDE to upload code to Arduino
Move the magnet close to the reed switch and then move it far from the reed switch.
Listen to the piezo buzzer’s sound

Schematic

Make connections according to the circuit diagram given below.

Wiring / Connections

Arduino	Door Sensor	Piezo Buzzer
D3	–	+ve Pin
GND	Pin 2	GND
D13	Pin 1	–

Installing Arduino IDE

First, you need to install Arduino IDE Software from its official website Arduino. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on “How to install Arduino IDE“.

Arduino Code

Now copy the following code and upload it to Arduino IDE Software.

const int DOOR_SENSOR_PIN = 13; // Arduino pin connected to door sensor's pin
const int BUZZER_PIN      = 3;  // Arduino pin connected to Buzzer's pin

int doorState;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);                     // initialize serial
  pinMode(DOOR_SENSOR_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // set arduino pin to input pull-up mode
  pinMode(BUZZER_PIN, OUTPUT);            // set arduino pin to output mode
}

void loop() {
  doorState = digitalRead(DOOR_SENSOR_PIN); // read state

  if (doorState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("The door is open");;
    digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, HIGH); // turn on Piezo Buzzer
  } else {
    Serial.println("The door is closed");
    digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, LOW);  // turn off Piezo Buzzer
  }
}

Applications

Security Door
Malls, Shops Banks, etc
