The mLink Home sensor is a compact multiple sensor module featuring a DHT22 temperature/humidity sensor, a LDR light sensor and a PIR motion detector. These features make this module ideal for sensing occupancy and environmental conditions within a room.
Communication with the sensors is made via the modules serial (I2C) interface which is compatible with microcontrollers featuring an I2C interface including most types of Arduinos. Being an mLink module it is also compatible with other modules in our mLink range and can simply be daisy-chained together allowing multiple different mLink modules to be controlled via one serial interface.

For Arduino users you can use the mLink library (see below for library and examples) to control any type of mLink module. Only one single instance of the library is needed to control multiple types of mLink modules resulting in very little resource overhead and therefore making it great for Arduinos with small amounts of memory and pin counts.
For Raspberry Pi users we have a Python module which can be installed via pip or downloaded and installed directly from our forum. Please see the mLink Python forum thread for requirements and download link here

*Note the maximum number of connected modules will depend on cable lengths and power requirements of each module. Do not exceed 5 mLink modules connected in series with I2C pullups fitted to all modules. For disconnecting pullups see forum post.
Because the modules use an I2C interface this also means multiple modules can be controlled from a single Arduino I2C interface simply by daisy-chaining them together. Note to control multiple mLink modules of the same type requires changing the default I2C address of the additional modules. See example Arduino sketch on forum post.
