Traditional doors usually consist of a housing or padlock and a flip key to open it. Usually found on office or mall doors, doors can be made more practical. The door will open automatically if there is physical energy (stimulus) that moves it. For example, when someone wants to enter the room, the door will automatically open. Doors like this are designed using automatic control using embedded system equipment. This automatic door system can be designed using automatic control combined with PIR sensors and servo motors. In terms of input equipment, a PIR (Passive Infrared Receiver) sensor is used which will detect humans approaching the door. This PIR sensor will send a signal to the Arduino process unit which contains a microcontroller chip. This microcontroller will send the processed data to the servo motor, so that it can open or close the door automatically.

The infrared detector (or IR detector) is an optoelectronic component and represents the core element of gas analyzers, flame sensors, devices of spectral analysis, as well as non-contact temperature measurement. pyroelectric infrared detectors work with  stabilization time  in a wide operating temperature range (-55 ... 85) °C, capable of measuring the slightest amounts of infrared radiation (as little as a fraction of a nW) with wavelengths between 1 µm and > 25 µm. The difference of the good pyroelectric or No good (NG) devices shown by graph of voltage offset operating that can check by manual using Digital Multi Meter or semi auto by using microcontroller One of importance measuring of IRD sensors  is Offset Voltage, stabilization of offset voltage indicate the sensor is stable with certain level value. Stabilization value measurement during measuring time means the average value not so much different with fluctuation value.  10 bit ADC on Atmega 328 that main microcontroller on Arduino Uno is capable to measure the Offset Voltage of IRD sensor and check the measurement values is within specification of IRD sensor.
