Pir sensor and keypad

Hello Folks,

I am trying to get this working but no matter what i try its not what i want. hopesome one could point me in te good direction.

What i want:

I press pincode on Keypad. When pincode is correct we wait for input from pir sensor.
If pir sensor pin is High a buzzer will go on.

If the Pir sensor is high for 10 seconds i want my relay to switch on. And in the mean time the buzzer is stil on.

When pir is triggert i have 10 seconds to turn alarm off by enter Off pincode.

My problem is that while counting down to 10 seconds i can not control keypad. So i can not deactivate the alarm.

My Code is very messy with loads of test and copy paste. So dont laugh please.

I hope soembody can give me a pointer in the right direction.

Hi wolfray,

The description you have given is detailed yet not best structured and detailed to get everything clear.

Your code is pretty long. This is not a problem in general.
The names of the functions are not self-descriptive. This means you force the other users to analyse the functionality of your functions through reading it line by line to understand what the code is doing.
This is a lot of work.

So here are some rules I invite you to check if following these rules makes sense to you.

write your code consequently segmented into functional parts.
Each functional part does one senseful unit of commands
give this function a self-descriptive name that nails down the functionality to the point.

This has multiple positive effects:

  • you did analyse your code very carefully
  • each senseful unit can be tested on its own
  • the self-descriptive name of the functions makes it easy to understand what this part of the code is doing

which in summary results in easy to understand and easy to maintain code.

Your function AlarmIn() does a lot of things that are scattered over many lines of code.

One solution - among others - to achieve your desired functionality is to use a state-machine.
State-machines reduce the number of if-conditions and flag-variables you have to check.
The cost is to learn the principle how state-machines work.
Once you have mastered understanding state-machines coding such functionalities becomes much easier

best regards Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Is this what you mean by state-machine?
It is not the complete code but am i on the right track?

//  Sensor alarm code:
// - Enter Pincode and alarm will be activated
// - Pir sensor is on standby and on start we have set it to no motion dectected
// - When motion is detected a buzzer wil be activated and we have 10 seconds to turn off alarm by entering secondary pincode.
// - If input secondary pincode is failed, a relay wil be switched on and a external alarm wil be triggerd.
