Staircase automation

I need to make something like that with HA

did someone used vibration sensor for that? what is the best PIR sensor posting to prevent false detection?

what about converting that controller (link above) to be smart?

I would but and test sensors by setting the controller there with a single led. Then as you walk around watch to see what combination works the way tou want it to. Once you get the control sensor right, then build the rest.

Just a thought, if you have a metal handrail on the stairs you could use that a a touch sensor.

That link is not working, what are you trying to do exactly?

Worked for me

Was failing to redirect for me.

That said the easiest thing they can do is just get a LED Strip that is able to be added directly into HA via zwave or zigbee and use the circadian lighting integration to automatically control the brightness and temperature of the strip to keep it a more natural light at night and use say an aeotec motion sensor where its best for detection of a person on the stairs.

Or WLED if you have a preference for Wifi.

I think they might be after more than circadian. They want the stair lights animated up/down.

Found the kit that controller belongs to:

Good options for the complete kit on how to have it work if that is what they are going for then.

this is his blog about that…but he did not share the code…I guess doing that with home assistant is better …it is the same idea of Arduino but in home assistant

or convert the controller on aliexpress to smart?

Anybody integrated the SuperLightningLED into HA ?

Hello guys,

Could I make a automation in HA like in this video ?
