Technical Specifications
Installation Example
In a practical smart home automation scenario, this sensor can be used to implement a sound-activated light system. Mount the FA3020 KY-038 in a room and connect it to a microcontroller. When it detects a clap or voice signal above a preset threshold, the module sends a digital signal to trigger a relay that powers a light fixture. This enhances accessibility and user interaction without physical switches.
