Stair lighting proof of concept
In this project I have built a LED stair lighting. The stair has 3 stair parts. For every stair are two sensors. The sensors detect when someone go up or downstairs and switch the light on or off. I used digital LEDs so you can switch every single LED seperate and you are able to make cool on and off move effects.
The LED stripe run on 5V. That's a bit difficult, but it works when you plan a good power grid.
Features
- Digital LEDs
- Automatic switch on and off when you go up or downstairs
- Position light for the first and last step when it is dark
- Optional wifi controll for ambientelight
- Timer off when light is on and no sensor for off is detected
Electronic Parts
- APA102 warm white digital LEDs 144/m
- Power supply 5V/50A
- Power supply 5V/35A
- Teensy 3.2 Microsontroller to control the LEDs
- Arduino Nano on each sensor for more flexibility and better
communication over the long cables
- Ultrasonic HC-SR04 or PIR sensor on stairs top and bottom
- Thick cable for the 5v power line
- Analog Brightness sensor
3D printed Parts
- Ultrasonic or Pir case
Hardware parts
- Aluminium LED profiles
- I used drywall to mount the profiles
Notes
- The PIR Sensor works better than the Ultrasonic HC-SR04
The Ultrasonic are more unstable and not so fast in my case
- The system works good but I think about some updates
*Design a PCB for the Teensy
*RS 485 communication between sensor and Teensy. I think it is
better against electrical interference.
*Software optimizations
This is DOÔOPE !!! I need the complete build guid please
Respekt, das sieht echt cool aus. Da ich es selbst schon gemacht habe, weiß ich, wie viel Arbeit da drin steckt. Mega umgesetzt, cool auch der Wechsel auf halber Höhe. Das ist eine ideale Lösung, erst recht, wenn man nicht mehr von unten an die einzelnen Stufen dran kommt. 👍
This is the coolest thing I have seen in my entire life
Thank you😀
@@tinkerfun how much for squar feet
Very cool! would love to see a version where the LED strips are below the risers and fade in and out as you walk over them.
Tinker..This is genius..You need to turn this into a business. I and many would purchase this. You have some serious talent. Make it happen.
Thank you so much. I've started a business now. I will check if it is possible to provide a product or kit in the future.
I'm in line, this is amazing!
Thanks for that I am very pleased
I saw only this video in your Channel and you have my subscription
Perfect...now i must buy a two floor house
hahaahhaah
All fun and games till they start turning on at night by themselves
Copied comment
Yay a ghost party!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would love to do this project is the sketch available for this plz ???
Please share the tutorial! This is amazing!
Oh God, that's a ton of work
very great.....next time you can try to use APA107 White LED Strip to replace APA102 LED.
Benefit?
So cool - I would love to create something like this, but maybe simplified with just one sensor at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. That way the lights could track up or down on sensing a person, then turn off in reverse as they reach the bottom.
Very impressive
Nice work
Thanks 👍
How did you cope with the LED power supply? Did you use two power supplies? What kind of cable did you use? At 5v current flows a lot
Nerv wrecking music. No explanation, no script.
Read the video description. Here are the info you need. Software you have to make yourself. tinker-fun.chayns.net/digitalledstairlighting
Hard work, good results in the end.
👍👍👍
Would you please provide a list of all components and where to buy to built a LED staircase.
Thank you so much
I ready to purchase this product
Where did u buy this
This is a do it yourself project not a ready product. Best regards Benni
Okay - interesting. I think the ultrasonic distance sensor is better than PIRs here - more accurate location determination. But this one is use just to sense a leg passing a single stair, not to judge distance. Do you think it is possible or practical to judge distance? That would be amazing, as you can have the lights moving exactly with the person.
Secondly I really like your use of individually addressable LEDs. BUT - maybe I prefer the "one LED strip per stair" instead of the linear installation. As it's more visually impactful, and also actually lights each step well, so it is useful as well. What do you think?
Finally I wonder if it's possible to somehow do something like you've done but in a whole room perimeter, not just stairs? I'm thinking camera movement sensor hooked up with Arduino. That's the next step!
The lights turn on and follow a certain pattern, then they wait for the second sensor to activate the other half of the pattern. Measuring distance would not help at all really.
Can you upload a video of the entire project . Sheer genius work
Hi. That's all video content that I have. Greats Benni
what happen if there is someone going upstair and downstair at the same time?
Here is the answer. ua-cam.com/video/X8vHWPlUJSw/v-deo.html
Nice!!!
Looks like you did the white apa102s. I used the RGB version in mine. We've rebuilt our stairs so I'll be doing this again soon.
Yes. Here a all Infos: tinker-fun.chayns.net/digitalledstairlighting
Fantastic!
Thanks 👍
KILLER👍
genius my friend
Vraiment trop cool 😱😱
Hi Amazing work !!!! I will start my DIY project next month could you please help me. Do you have a Manual guide I could follow.
Many thanks
Fehlt noch die Erkennung der Katze 🐱 😁. Aber geil, ich hab ein neues Projekt in der Pipeline ....
this work is amazing. great video!!
Thank you👍
So I just have one run I would need to do but do you have a more detailed view on how the wiring is? Also is there a time delay you can set where the lights stay on longer?
So amazing!
Wieder mal geiles Projekt! Feier auch den Videoschnitt a la step by step. Daumen hoch
Jan Keizer Danke Jan 😀
Very good 👏👏👏
Very nice project. Can you are able to share the code and schematic.
Hi, the software code is not so good that I will share it. I´m not the pro developer in software. You can see on the URL in the description how I built the project. There is a component overview, too.
Could you make these blue or green? That would be epic
Yes when you use digital LEDs like SK6812
Blue is a no no
Hi. I usually use Arduino one, can this project be adapted?
Would it be possible to have the sketch of the program?
Thanks so much
very nice,
I will do it at home, can you help with the installation of the wiring diagram?😁
How does this work with more than one person up and down the stairs?
I think Leds has to turn ON more forward from your legs
It depends on the position of ultrasonic sensors
I will be honest I was bopping to the tunes at the start I though I was going to enjoy this vid going to do it in my home then it ended ffs man
THIS IS DOPE!
Do you have a product list? Need stair lighting and there’s no room for sconces or wall lighting. This would be perfect and would address a safety issue.
Brilliant!
Hola muy buenas trabajáis por Barcelona
it's all noice 👌 and dandy but let's talk about 💰💸💰💸
Sir i am indian how to make this light please making vedio sir very nice👏👏👏👏👍
Hi,
gab es eine Aktualisierung zu diesem Thema?
LG
Brilliant! 😎
Megaa!!! Würde auch gern WLED im Handlauf umsetzen. Um diesen Effekt so umzusetzen, musstest du einen Usermod Stairway flashen oder? Ich scheitere leider dabei... gibt es dazu eine Anleitung?
Starship house!
hello, and the Arduino bookshelves and scheck which are ....... thanks
Is there any video tutorial step by step .. thank you great job
Hello, how do you make the running light move both ways
Very cool project, is there a link to build this project? I would like to do similar at my place.
Or just buy sensor lamp so we don't need to install some weird code. But i still liked ur video, smart n creative guy.
Thank you ! Anyone can build their own staircase light as they wish. I like technical things because I am a maker.
How do you blur the light?
I'll be traying to race the light
Hi , I made a project on automatic staircase lights with arduino and ws2812b but unfortunately nano cant support more than 600 leds which disappointed me. my stairs runs nearly 11 meters (60 led/meter).
soo i planned to do same with esp32
i have few doubts.
can i use two ultrasonic sensors. one at top and bottom. and also as i read in community that it can only trigger lights but cant reset. is it possible to trigger lights at bottom and as the person walks to top the lights should stop.
help me to finish this project.
When I was going to buy led lights, I found that APA 102 warm white light was more expensive than APA 107 RGB. I don't know why.
Need this in detailed
Please tell me how and what u used for this I've been looking for something to do with my staircase
Is there one that is battery operated that just stays on all the time? But that won’t need battery changed too often?
This is not battery operation. Fixed power supply. Best regards Benni
Thick cable for 5v power line.... like what gauge?
Would be cooler if sketched out how you did this
hello, when it detects a motion, is there a timer after x seconds the LED will be turned off or it can know your last footstep?
❤
How many arduino nano did you use. Was it one nano for 2 sensors? And why did you use the teensy controller?
Boss tell how to make this and what material needed for making this
She's. a keeper
Where did you get the aluminum stair nosing from ?
Good video.LED stair lighting is a good design.Give you a thumbs up.
WELL PCB thank you 👍
Hello!! If you make this same project for a customer, in his house... What would be the cost??
How to make this project plz tell me and share details and help me
costing where 2 get material pls
Where did you hide the drivers? They look way to big for that application btw. lol
You mean the power supply? For the long stair I built them in a cabinet in the room on top of the stair. For the short stair I built a acrylic case and mounted on the wall. The LED seller write "43.2W/m". So I have ~ 6,5m/930 LEDs on the long stair. So I think it fits. Best regards
Yea because those LED strips look overkill... its probably the 144 LED per meter one? :D
I mean... 60/m would be sufficient... maybe even 30/m. :P
@@janred94 for the amount of necessary lumens, yes. But having the 144led/m makes the spacing between the diodes much less, and the fades much better looking. You don’t always need to run the leds at full power either...
Здравствуйте, загорелся такой-же идеей, всё заказал, а теперь не знаю, получится ли у меня, так как я далёк от написания программ,. Скажите пожалуйста, вы не могли бы скинуть мне такую программу, чтобы как у вас зажигалась лента, был бы очень вам благодарен! Хотя-бы будет с чего начать, а подредактировать под мою ленту уж как нибудь постараюсь
I’m doing this now with arduino and what looks like a custom made board. But this sounds and looks better. How could I get in contact with you for more details? I did one staircase already but my other staircase is still unfinished and I need this done before I complete everything.
Please take a look to my project summary www.tinker-fun.com/DigitalLEDStairlighting
Where is the circuit diagram & Code for Arduino nano please give me the detailed link
Does anyone sell this as a kit pre made? I fit stair lights regularly and have been looking for something like this for a while, cant find it Anywhere.
Hi. I think there is nobody who sell a kit. Best regards
dear sir plz upload full detail installation video
I want to buy plz send me link where I buy..🙏
Sehr schönes Projekt! Sehr professionelle Umsetzung!
Eine wichtige Frage hätte ich: Was macht die Software, wenn mehrere Personen gleichzeitig die Treppe betreten? (in unterschiedlichsten Konstellationen)
Ich versuche mich gerade an einem ähnlichen Projekt und verwende den Si1153...
Und noch was:
Wenn man die letzten Stufen runter springt (Sensor löst nicht aus), bleibt der Stripe dann an oder gibts einen Timeout?
Hi, danke für dein Kompliment. Ich habe mir auch lange den Kopf wegen mehreren Personen zerbrochen. Wenn eine Person hoch geht und ihr einer entgegen kommt, geht das Licht leider aus, da ich nicht erkennen kann, ob die eine oben angekommen ist oder eine neue runter geht. Wenn mehrere Personen zusammen in die gleiche Richtung gehen, bleibt das Licht normal an bis der erste oben angekommen ist. Es gibt einen Timer, wenn ein Sensor auslöst, aber keine zweite Bewegung erkannt wird. Das sind aktuell glaube 15 sek.. Es gibt auch noch ein Nachtlicht. Wenn es dunkel ist, geht bei der ersten und letzte Stufe Licht gedimmt an, wie ein Positionslicht. Das ist generell gar nicht so leicht mit den Abhängigkeiten. Was passiert z.B. wenn jemand hoch geht und nach ein paar Stufen wieder umkehrt. Das System kann nicht auseinander halten, ob die Person umgekehrt ist, oder eine weitere mit hoch geht. Ich habe noch eine Idee, wie man einige Situationen besser in den Griff bekommen könnte. Wenn man nicht einen Sensor, sondern zwei pro Seite hätte, könnte man erkennen in welche Richtung die Person geht. Das heiß ich könnte besser bestimmen, wer aktuell auf der Treppe ist und ob er vielleicht wieder umgedreht ist. Aber selbst dann findet man bestimmt noch Konstellationen, die man nicht abfangen kann. Aber so wie jetzt läuft das im privaten Haushalt schon wirklich gut. Ich denke aber über ein Update mit den 2 Sensoren pro Etage nach, um dann die Richtung wie gerade erwähnt zu erfassen. Über ein Kamera Analyse haben wir auch schon nach gedacht, die erkennt welche Personen gerade wie auf der Treppe sind, aber das liegt außerhalb meiner Programmier Kenntnisse. Liebe Grüße
tinker.fun Mit 2 Sensoren würdest du doch jeden Fall abdecken. Also mit 2 pro Seite, dann könntest du ja sobald die seite ausgelöst wird einfach ne funktion im programm aufrufen wie zähle eins zu den Personen auf derTreppe hinzu. Dann wüsstest du, wie viele Personen sich z.Zt. auf der Treppe befinden. Sobald der Counter bei 0 ist müsste dann das Licht ausgehen.
Do you have a link to where i can find these. Thanks
This is so cool! Do you sell these?
Hi, sry this is not a product. Best regards from Germany, Benni
My god..I have never seen anything like this! Amazing!! Plzz guide me how can I do this on my stairs as well!
Soon I will try to develop a kit with controller and sensors.
@@tinkerfun hey tinker, great job, just my thing. Any chance of supplying the kit now?
@@fiazkhalid3542 Hi, sorry, unfortunately I can not offer a kit.
still working? you had some problem with any led light?
Please I have purchased this projects what's a price
How do I get this?
I guess burglars will be panicking coz the stairways suddenly light up and any security lights. LoL
Can I replace Teensy 3.2 Microsontroller with something like Arduino uno or nano？
I think yes. But you have to test it with your Led length. If the Microcontroller is fast enough. I will build a new version with new sensors soon. I will test a esp32 Microcontroller as a new controller.
@@tinkerfun I intend to apply this project to my own house, so I would like to know more details. I'm curious what kind of sensors are you going to replace PIR? In addition, do you think nano is not fast enough, so you plan to use esp32?
Can you please share the materials details.
Hi i am from India and no where connected to electronics field but some how developed a hobby to check and have this cool things. So I want to know if you can make something like this for me. What will be your cost and I can order the components online you just tell me how to do it
Hi. I'm glad you like the project. I have tried to summarize all information here. But as a beginner in electronics it could be a bit difficult. Maybe you can first do simple experiments with addressable LEDs to learn it. I think you will have fun with the LEDs. tinker-fun.chayns.net/digitalledstairlighting
Good execution plentiful o follow u thanks
Hey man, I can't get my LED strip light up. Do you have an example code to turn the LEDs on and off for Arduino boards?
github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Basic-usage
How much cost
How much did it cost you that roll of LEDs?
Hi. Check all Infos about the project. The link to the Led Shop is also there. tinker-fun.chayns.net/digitalledstairlighting
:-O Hammer....
Can you provide the name of the LED used here?
APA102 Warmwhite adressable LEDs 144x/meter
That's awesome! So what's the total costs of this whole project?
A good question. I don´t know. The main components: ~26€ for one meter LED Stripe (APA102). I have used ~ 8 meters. Aluminium LED profile - One meter ~ 7€. Than you need a power supply. For my project ~70€, two Sensors for one stair ~ 2€, I have used 6, a microcontroller ~5 - 20€ and cables.
tinker.fun It turned out really great! Why did you choose APA102 led? Is it possible with WS2813?
Yes, you can use the WS2813 or SK6812 but I have needed warm white light. The APA102 has 3 warm white LED chips in one LED.
Hi I'm thinking of starting this project, your psu has 50A capacity what size cable are you supplying this in? Thanks
