Hi Kaylee,Here is an inexpensive IR kit that could be used to trigger the message. This is very similar to the IR detectors used in faucets and towel dispensers. I built one for the fun of it and it works OK.

A unique idea - very clever.

Good luck ! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-4306593e-f34b-4497-aaa5-c03b8678499c/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

If you get stuck there is quite a good tutorial series here on Element14:

Jeremy Blum Arduino Tutorials

which may be of some help to you.

There is also a good cookbook available by Michael Margolis:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arduino-Cookbook-Michael-Margolis/dp/1449313876/

which covers all sorts of interfacing scenarios and even includes the Adafruit wave shield you have.

What motion sensors have you chosen ?

Interesting project.

I look forward to seeing your idea put into practice.
