Exploring Custom Board Setup and Motion Sensor Integration

Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of custom board development using the nRF54H20 chip. I’ve been following the official Getting Started guide, which does a great job explaining how to use pre-built BICR files. However, I’m curious about creating custom BICR files for my own board designs. During my builds, I noticed that Zephyr generates its own BICR files, which makes me wonder: are these files suitable for my custom setup, or do I need to manually create and flash them? If manual creation is necessary, does anyone have tips or resources on how to approach this? I’d love to hear from anyone who has tackled similar projects!

Switching gears, I’ve been experimenting with integrating a PIR motion sensor into my smart home setup. My goal is to trigger an IP camera when motion is detected. I’ve connected the PIR sensor to both my alarm panel and a binary sensor for testing. However, I’m noticing inconsistent behavior—when the sensor is connected to both, the binary sensor doesn’t detect motion, but the alarm panel does. When connected solely to the binary sensor, it works perfectly. I’m using the same 12V power source in both setups. Has anyone encountered this issue or have insights on how to resolve it? I’m really keen on getting this working seamlessly!

Lastly, I wanted to share a quick tip for anyone dealing with Wyze devices. If you’re seeing low battery alerts but can’t find detailed info, try checking the device info page. It’s a bit hidden, but it does provide some insights. I hope this helps someone out there!

Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences!
