This is the R&J Motion Detector Kit, which includes a motion detector and motion detector Indicator (Intruder Alert !)

Photon Circuits

This is what the Photon circuits look like prior to their final assembly

Code

LED Indicating

C/C++
This code is used to analyze data collected from the PIR sensor, and enable the LED and buzzer when appropriate. This code subscribes and published to the PIR sensing code, and thus a secondary photon, to create bi-directional communication.
int buzz = D0;

int led = D7;

void setup ()
{
    pinMode(buzz,OUTPUT);
    pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(led,LOW);
    
    Particle.subscribe("motion-detected", myAlert, "27003b001247343438323536");
    delay(3000);
}

void myAlert(const char *event, const char *data)
{
    if (strcmp(data, "1") == 0){
      digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
      delay(500);
      digitalWrite(led,LOW);
      
      digitalWrite(buzz,HIGH);
      delay(200);
      digitalWrite(buzz,LOW);
      
      Particle.publish("motion-d", "1");
      data = "0";
    }
    
      
}

PIR Sensing

C/C++
This code is responsible for recording and publishing the data collected by the PIR sensor to an external database, namely ThingSpeak, for graphical purposes, and the second photon. It also subscribes to the LED sensing code, and enables an LED, on the second photon to create bi-directional communication.
int PIRSensor =D0; // choose pin the input pin (For PIR sensor)
int state = LOW; // We start, assuming no motion detected
int Motion = 0; // variable for reading pin status
int Update = 0;
int led = D7;
const String key = "GPAV51OAX8RKQTQX";

void setup() {
    Particle.subscribe("motion-d", state1, "420027000247353138383138");
    pinMode(D7,OUTPUT); // delcare D7 led as output
    pinMode(PIRSensor,INPUT); // decalr sensor as input
    
}
void state1(const char *event, const char *data){
    if (state == HIGH)
        digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
        delay(500);
        digitalWrite(led,LOW);
}

void loop() {
  
    Motion = digitalRead(PIRSensor); // read input value
    delay(20000);
    if (Motion == HIGH) {           // chech if input is HIGH
        //digitalWrite(D7,HIGH);
        Particle.publish("motion-detected","1");
        state = HIGH;
    }
    
    Particle.publish("Motion", + "{ \"1\": \"" + String(state) + "\"," + "\"k\": \"" + key + "\" }",60, PRIVATE);
}
