Hello,

I am new to phidgets and would like to know if what I'm envisioning is possible. I would like to use the Motion Sensor connected to a VINT hub, which will connect to my Raspberry Pi. The goal is to make a python script that will play an mp3 in the background once motion has been detected. I am setting up a special event for when the person walks in, they will hear a song played as a special touch. Any examples, tips, or advice on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.

This guide provides information about getting started with Python and the Raspberry Pi:

This project provides an example of playing a sound based on a Phidget event:

Hello, thank you for your response. But this doesn't really show me how to accomplish what I am trying to do for the motion sensor device. I have a MOT2002_0 motion sensor hooked up to a VINT hub going back to my raspberry pi.

You can find code samples to get you started in the Code Samples tab for the MOT2002. Simply select your Hub and Python from the drop-down menus. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor using the sensor type as outlined in the resulting sample.

You should be able to put whatever code you use to play sound in the onSensorChange event
