Photosensitive diode relay module

The Photosensitive diode relay module combines a photodiode light sensor with an onboard relay. When the light level crosses the switching point, the relay turns on or off, so the module can control a lamp, fan or other load automatically at dusk and dawn. It works on its own without a microcontroller, and it can also be used as a light-triggered switch inside Arduino and ESP32 projects.

Photosensitive diode relay module Specifications

• Light sensor: photodiode
• Output: relay contacts for switching an external load
• Operation: standalone, the relay switches automatically with the light level
• Typical use: day/night switching of lights and small appliances

Photosensitive diode relay module Applications

• Automatic garden, porch and night lights
• Shop sign and display lights that turn on at dusk
• Light-activated alarms and beam-break detectors
• STEM demonstrations of light sensing and relays

What's in the Box

• 1 × photosensitive diode relay module

Tip: Check the module's rated supply voltage (5 V and 12 V versions exist) and the contact rating printed on the relay before connecting a load. If you switch 230 V mains, use insulated wiring and a closed enclosure, and point the sensor away from the lamp it controls so the light does not switch itself off.
