Staircase Lighting

Staircase lighting

The staircase tracking lighting project will follow you on a staircase, lighting up individual stairs as you move along.

The project extends the opensource WLED controller with a "Staircase Tracking" user mod developed by RainShadow Tech. This user mod allows the controller to accept http JSON requests informing the controller which stair is occupied. The staircase tracking lighting project also consists of a HLK-LD2450 millimeter wave radar tracking module wired to a raspberry pi. After training the system by walking up and down the staricase a couple dozen times, the Raspberry Pi will filter and interpret the radar module's output and inform the WLED controller which stair(s) to light up.
