I Made a Wifi Connected Smart Backsplash using an RGB LED Strip

I was upgrading my kitchen by adding a backsplash … and I thought … let’s make it SMART!

This is my take on using a LED strip, that I embedded with the tiles, and use the LEDs to have a timer and visual indicator for my cooktop and air circulation. I also designed a custom board and had it integrated with HA for automation over MQTT!!

If you have a cool idea for me, please share it. I’d love to hear it. One thing I want to add is the ability to show a reminder the morning of waste collection and recycling days.

Congratulations on the project.
I’d like to replicate the timer part and integrate everything into HA. What libraries should I include for programming the controller? How to integrate everything into HA? Since I’m interested in the timer, can I bypass some of the code? Thank you

Here is link to the full source code.

The Timer was implemted as a WS2812fx effect.

ws2812fx.setCustomMode(myTimerEffect);

myTimerEffect(void){} method should be a good starting point.
