This is my code. Ignore firebase and blynk things. Here what i am doing is receiving ir sensor data to count the number of people in the room and Dht 11 sensor to get temperature and humidity of the room and store them in the database. I want to enter data immediately into my database when ir sensor detects something and after a 5 min delay i want to store temp,humidity and count of ir sensor used in database. Whenever i use delay function it affects both the sensors and until i use ir sensor for 5 min it doesnt sends data to database. Please help me with it. Thanx. First time working on arduino.

Please edit your post to add code tags. See the "How to use this forum" post.

Use millis() function

Basically you store previous millis and counting current
if the current miliseconds are 5min from previous milis get reading from sensor
Otherwise ignore it and move on
