Building a DIY Home Alarm System with Arduino and WiFi

Here's a brief explanation of the code:

• We first include the necessary libraries for Wi-Fi and HTTPClient.
• We then define our Wi-Fi network name and password, as well as the URL of our server.
• We define the pin to which our motion sensor is connected and set it to input mode.
• We then set up the Wi-Fi connection and wait until we are connected to the network.
• In the loop function, we check the state of the motion sensor. If it detects motion and the alarm is not already triggered, we send a notification to the server and set the alarmTriggered variable to true. If the motion sensor detects no motion and the alarm is triggered, we set alarmTriggered to false.
• The sendNotification function takes a message parameter, constructs a URL with the message as a parameter, and sends an HTTP GET request to the server. The server can then process this request and send a notification to the appropriate parties.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>

const char* ssid = "your-ssid"; //replace with your Wi-Fi network name
const char* password = "your-password"; //replace with your Wi-Fi network password

const char* serverName = "http://yourserver.com/"; //replace with your server URL

const int motionSensorPin = D1; //motion sensor connected to pin D1
bool alarmTriggered = false;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(motionSensorPin, INPUT);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi!");
}

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(motionSensorPin) == HIGH && !alarmTriggered) {
    Serial.println("Motion detected! Alarm triggered!");
    sendNotification("Motion detected in your home!");
    alarmTriggered = true;
  }
  else if (digitalRead(motionSensorPin) == LOW && alarmTriggered) {
    Serial.println("Motion stopped. Alarm deactivated.");
    alarmTriggered = false;
  }
  delay(100);
}

void sendNotification(String message) {
  WiFiClient client;
  HTTPClient http;
  String url = serverName + "?message=" + message;
  Serial.println(url);
  http.begin(client, url);
  int httpCode = http.GET();
  if (httpCode > 0) {
    String payload = http.getString();
    Serial.println(payload);
  }
  else {
    Serial.println("Error on HTTP request");
  }
  http.end();
}

Note that this is just a basic example code and you may need to modify it to fit your specific use case. Also, make sure to properly secure your Wi-Fi network and server to prevent unauthorized access.
