As someone commented these devices can not see a blue gas flame. You could turn this into an advantage. Gas burners burn orange if there is an obstruction that alters the air fuel mixture. So it could be an extra layer of safety combined with a thermocouple.
SO, this is an IR sensor. Remember, you cannot see IR light, but it is used all the time. For instance, walk past a surveillance camera with night vision at night, and this thing should go off because the camera is lighting up the area with IR light, which the camera can then see. So you can detect surveillance cameras great for burglars. If you get a cheap digital camera and open it up, you will find an IR filter just in front of the lens, done to make the pictures not be influenced by IR. Remove that filter and re-assemble the camera and you have a camera that can see what you cannot see, good fun. I took a camera like that and an IR flashlight into a dark room and could not see anything even with the flashlight on. But when I fired up the camera I could clearly see the flashlight lighting up the room. Very cool.
@@Hacktuber I will further point out that this sensor is half of the IR sensors that line-following smart cars use, it just does not have the IR emitter and it may have a different sensitivity range.
Most phones I've had (Android) can also 'see' IR devices like remote controls. Just point the remote at the camera, press a button and you see it light up. No disassembly required.
@@AubsUK This is true, the IR filter in the cameras is never perfect, it reduces rather than removes the IR. But if you remove the filter the camera suddenly becomes much more sensitive to IR. I am a test engineer, and for a while I was testing a dispenser system for controlled substances for use in hospitals and nursing homes and such. Part of the dispenser was an "IR curtain" that would detect medication drops and attempts to get into the dispenser to get drugs. I used a video camera to record it working so that I could see the actual IR emitter working, when it was working, and stuff. It was also great for when there was a bad dispense, I could go back and replay the video to see what happened, and then show the design engineer. Much of testing involves finding ways to see what others don't see.
@@flingmonkey5494 that's really cool to do testing! Even Raspberry Pi cameras can come with or without IR filter (NoIR). They can also be carefully removed if it comes with one! So less than £30 for a full setup if you get a Pi Zero 2 W and a camera.
This is a very interesting module, indeed. I would also use it to monitor the pilot in my gas water heater. In this case I can connect it to a esp8266 cpu ($1.50) to send me an email if the pilot was off. Keep on the good work!
Different fuel types emit different IR wavelengths. Start with the experiment like the author of this video. I found that a natural gas (methane) flame would not trigger this module. It is an education!
I've played with these! But as a remote tester, thats new! Read codes easy! When set at triggers edge, the output is flickering at a VERY natural rate!
Liked the video, but would be nice if you test the range too. It already surprised me it detected the flame from that distance but I wonder how far from it the flame can be and still detect it.
@@Hacktuber It would also be beneficial to demonstrate the direction capabilities of devices like this, I thought the same with the gas sensors. Keep the gas/flame on and move closer/further, around, etc. to show the limitations.

Happy new year to you too bro from 🏴 👍🏾 Absolutely love your channel, im useless with circuits, but I have a few projects I want to go forward with, and you've been a great inspiration. Keep it up 👍🏾
Thought you were going to show other uses for the sensor. OK, you DID show it can be used to detect remote control IR pulses. What else can you use it for?
For anyone who already has the InfraRed 'Reflective' or 'Obstacle Avoidance Module', this can also be used as a flame detector. Just remove the IR Transmitter LED from the module to avoid false triggering. 😉
Not if you use Ali's free shipping over $10. That needn't be over $10 from the same supplier, it can be from any supplier that is taking part in the scheme, and there are lots of them. Of course, it isn't actually free of shipping cost as the unit price is usually a bit more than those suppliers that are not taking part in the scheme but usually it is better to buy from those in the scheme than those not in the scheme.
You comment many times and I understand you problem,many of buzzers work on 5v dc there are active and passive models,another thing if you remove the sticker on top in many cases the piezo will not work good.
...and Happy Holidays to you!! Have you checked how far away the sensor can detect the lighter flame (in the dark). Fro my experience with IR sensors, I can say, for sure, that a lens in front of the IR device will greatly increase the distance...but more directional. With proper setup (on a com system), I have extended the range from inches to 100's of yards!!! I was very surprised!!
It would have been nice if you could show how far it will detect the flame? If you need to be so close that you shown in the video it is pretty useless for detecting flames ... No link to AliExpress for the product either 🤨
So... spend a few more minutes next time, show what the 'sensitivity' pot does....even more...reverse engineer this thing...(pretty simple).... you said it is an LM393...dual comparator IC.... redraw the schematic.... anyone can hook up a couple of wires.... big deal!!!! Yea, Happy Holidays....

Happy New Year! I'm going to order a few to play with! Thanks!
Happy New Year to you! Let me know how it goes for you!
The sensor is not sensitive to LNG burner blue flame, due to different wavelength. I saw some video about this issue.
Thx for sharing this,I didnt know that
@@Hacktuber Happy New Year!

Nice video - can't get simpler or easier to follow than that!
Glad it was helpful!
Plus about 5 bucks for shipping.

@@mal6232just came to say dont they know that if you spend over $10 on any random crap, it gets shipped for free.
Would you please provide the details of that piezo buzzer?
You comment many times and I understand you problem,many of buzzers work on 5v dc there are active and passive models,another thing if you remove the sticker on top in many cases the piezo will not work good.
@@Hacktuber thank you... sorry for the multiple comments/questions... thank you for the help!
I use them as flame detectors on my stove an fireplace
Good👍
I wonder if there is some censor that can detect signal directly from camera, so we can find those hidden cameras in our hotel rooms.
That will be nice gadget😉
Look for a lens! No matter how small, a lens is visible to occupants! Flat lens! In fact it's a camera's ir filter!
...and Happy Holidays to you!!

I am planning to do that, will update soon!
How far away can it detect that flame from?
That will be tested in my next Q and A video
Do you have any thoughts on a rain detector?
Its cool project,maybe I will do a video
What about the recognition distance?
In next video very soon I will make QA.
Stripped down PIR sensor. Could be fun
Or make it your own,step by step
thats cool, i can find a few uses for one off those.
Try to make cool project.
Have a great new year 🎉
Happy new year!
Happy new Year
Would you please share the Link for your tested products?
Sorry
It would have been nice if you could show how far it will detect the flame? If you need to be so close that you shown in the video it is pretty useless for detecting flames ...
No link to AliExpress for the product either 🤨
I have testing video,check my channel
wow! we live in a wonderful time!
Yes that is true
HELLO mister Hacktuber thanks for all your videos i enyoi evertime wen you lanch a new one please go on and keep healty greeting from holland
Hello sir,thx for feedback and I am glad that you enjoy in my vids.have a nice day
There is a much easier way to test your remote control. Use your phone camera, it can see infrared radiation.
thx but we need the Link please ..
Just search by name: flame IR sensor module for arduino
@@Hacktuber I mean if it is promos if not , ok
must !!! does not detect the flame, and barely the remote control of my TV, made with the same parts as yours in the same condition
Sorry,do you have the same model board with one ir led
@@Hacktuber yes
Hello. Congratulations for tour channel. Can you make a diy for a motion sensor to put on a photo frame? Thanks for your attention.
Thanks for the idea!
@@Hacktuber i follow your channel. Hope you do it soon🫡.
Cool idea
Glad you think so!
This thing can do exactly what it was built to do. What's incredible about it?
I dont know,sorry mate
FREE FLAME not FIRST smoke. IMMENS DIFFERENCE.
Sorry
Swiss knifes 😅 grettings from Swiss😊
I appreciate it, I'm glad you liked the video!
nice ! 😃
Thanks! 😁
Great!!
Thx for support👍

Thanks for your feedback, I will try to cover more aspects in future videos!
😮😮
👍
Never buy shit from AliExpress
WHY?
@@Hacktuber I've bought 2 things from them neither one of them were what I paid for and they never respond to complaints I think they suppress them.
Happy new Year
Would you please share the Link for your tested products?
Sorry,search under "flame ir sensor module"
Great!
No problem,just wanted to share the module
