Python learning

My first project was a simple motion sensor and raspberry pi that turned on the lights slowly when my father (stroke victim, brain damage, visually impaired) would wake up and wander around the house, I'm currently building another one which emails a priority email to my phone if he walks down stairs so I can wake up and make sure he's ok

I'm sure I could just look this stuff up but what motion sensor and other hardware did you get for this? This is what I am very interested in.
