IOIO vs Teensy for just 1 PIR

Hi,

I want to be able to write an android app that triggers a series of events (sms messages, calls etc) when a motion sensor detects movement. There are no other interactions: the phone only needs to know if there's movement somewhere.

Is a Teensy good enough? Or I need a IOIO?

Hello.

As far as I know either the Teensy or IOIO are capable of accepting the signal from the alarm pin on our PIR sensor. The IOIO is specifically designed to easily interface with an Android where the Teensy might need some extra work. The Teensy is also cheaper. I do not see why either device would not work for your application.
