What happens here
To automate the lighting, a motion sensor (PIR sensor) will be incorporated. This sensor detects movement, triggering the lights to turn on only when necessary. This saves battery power and ensures stealth, as the lights only activate when an animal is present. The sensor will be wired in line with the lights or as a trigger for a relay connected to the lights, controlled by the charge controller's load output.
Goal: Automate light activation based on motion detection.
