Animated Staircase Usermod (#1763)
* Initial version of the PIR Staircase wipe up/down. * Add pulldown reminder * Workaround for missing D6 and D7 definitions on esp32dev * Add pinouts for d1 mini (esp8266 and esp32) and NodeMCU (and Arduino) * These IO pins on all these boards... NodeMCU and d1_mini esp32 supported. The others? Fingers crossed. * Changed to not collide with led strip pins * PIR on GPIO 15 and 16 on esp32 d1 mini * Removed PIN number ifdefs, it is impossible to match all boards * Settings in flash, info and API * Update README.md * Small doc changes * Improved README * Fixed error in reading configuration * Add API documentation * Documentation and code cleanup * Add enable/disable to API settings * Restore segment state when disabling plugin * Add debounce * Set segments in animation mode * Set segments in animation mode * Add support for HR04 sensors * Add preliminary description for using an HR04 sensor * Fixed typenumber and linked to datasheet * Moved config away from defines to prevent user error * Trigger Sensors through API * Rename scripts folder so that it's name doesn't clash with the `pio` command (prevents platformIO in VSCode to work properly on Mac) * Bugfix for detection problems * Separated config from code * Renamed Signal to Trigger pin * Filename adjusted * Clarifications and additions to README * Fixed references to pio scripts * Fixed API trigger bug * Adjustments to README.md * More efficient use of flash cycles, better naming * Bugfix: bottom sensor was not read properly * Renamed to Animated_Staircase * Add note on ultrasonic sensor and esp32 * Better naming of defines * Bugfix: Swipe down started with two steps. * Removed upload port in nodemcuv2 section Co-authored-by: Rolf <rolf@phobos.local> Co-authored-by: Rolf <>

# Usermod Animated Staircase
|
||||
This usermod makes your staircase look cool by switching it on with an animation. It uses
|
||||
PIR or ultrasonic sensors at the top and bottom of your stairs to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Light up the steps in your walking direction, leading the way.
|
||||
- Switch off the steps after you, in the direction of the last detected movement.
|
||||
- Always switch on when one of the sensors detects movement, even if an effect
|
||||
is still running. It can therewith handle multiple people on the stairs gracefully.
|
||||
|
||||
The Animated Staircase can be controlled by the WLED API. Change settings such as

## WLED integration
|
||||
To include this usermod in your WLED setup, you have to be able to [compile WLED from source](https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/Compiling-WLED).
|
||||
|
||||
Before compiling, you have to make the following modifications:
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `usermods_list.cpp`:
|
||||
1. Open `wled00/usermods_list.cpp`
|
||||
2. add `#include "../usermods/Animated_Staircase/Animated_Staircase.h"` to the top of the file
|
||||
3. add `usermods.add(new Animated_Staircase());` to the end of the `void registerUsermods()` function.
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `Animated_Staircase_config.h`:
|
||||
1. Open `usermods/Animated_Staircase/Animated_Staircase_config.h`
|
||||
2. To use PIR sensors, change these lines to match your setup:
|
||||
Using D7 and D6 pin notation as used on several boards:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define TOP_PIR_PIN D7
|
||||
#define BOTTOM_PIR_PIN D6
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or using GPIO numbering for pins 25 and 26:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define TOP_PIR_PIN 26
|
||||
#define BOTTOM_PIR_PIN 25
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To use Ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensors instead of (one of the) PIR sensors,
|
||||
uncomment one of the PIR sensor lines and adjust the pin numbers for the
|
||||
connected Ultrasonic sensor. In the example below we use an Ultrasonic
|
||||
sensor at the bottom of the stairs:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define TOP_PIR_PIN 32
|
||||
//#define BOTTOM_PIR_PIN D6 /* This PIR sensor is disabled */
|
||||
|
||||
#ifndef TOP_PIR_PIN
|
||||
#define TOP_SIGNAL_PIN D2
|
||||
#define TOP_ECHO_PIN D3
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
#ifndef BOTTOM_PIR_PIN /* If the bottom PIR is disabled, */
|
||||
#define BOTTOM_SIGNAL_PIN 25 /* This Ultrasonic sensor is used */
|
||||
#define BOTTOM_ECHO_PIN 26
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After these modifications, compile and upload your WLED binary to your board
|
||||
and check the WLED info page to see if this usermod is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware installation
|
||||
1. Stick the LED strip under each step of the stairs.
|
||||
2. Connect the ESP8266 pin D4 or ESP32 pin D2 to the first LED data pin at the bottom step
|
||||
of your stairs.
|
||||
3. Connect the data-out pin at the end of each strip per step to the data-in pin on the
|
||||
other end of the next step, creating one large virtual LED strip.
|
||||
4. Mount sensors of choice at the bottom and top of the stairs and connect them to the ESP.
|
||||
5. To make sure all LEDs get enough power and have your staircase lighted evenly, power each
|
||||
step from one side, using at least AWG14 or 2.5mm^2 cable. Don't connect them serial as you
|
||||
do for the datacable!
|
||||
|
||||
You _may_ need to use 10k pull-down resistors on the selected PIR pins, depending on the sensor.
|
||||
|
||||
## WLED configuration
|
||||
1. In the WLED UI, confgure a segment for each step. The lowest step of the stairs is the
|
||||
lowest segment id.
|
||||
2. Save your segments into a preset.
|
||||
3. Ideally, add the preset in the config > LED setup menu to the "apply
|
||||
preset **n** at boot" setting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changing behavior through API
|
||||
The Staircase settings can be changed through the WLED JSON api.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** We are using [curl](https://curl.se/) to send HTTP POSTs to the WLED API.
|
||||
If you're using Windows and want to use the curl commands, replace the `\` with a `^`
|
||||
or remove them and put everything on one line.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Description | Default |
|
||||
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
|
||||
| enabled | Enable or disable the usermod | true |
|
||||
| segment-delay-ms | Delay (milliseconds) between switching on/off each step | 150 |
|
||||
| on-time-s | Time (seconds) the stairs stay lit after last detection | 5 |
|
||||
| bottom-echo-us | Detection range of ultrasonic sensor | 1749 |
|
||||
| bottomsensor | Manually trigger a down to up animation via API | false |
|
||||
| topsensor | Manually trigger an up to down animation via API | false |
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To read the current settings, open a browser to `http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state` (use your WLED
|
||||
device IP address). The device will respond with a json object containing all WLED settings.
|
||||
The staircase settings and sensor states are inside the WLED status element:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"state": {
|
||||
"staircase": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"segment-delay-ms": 150,
|
||||
"on-time-s": 5,
|
||||
"bottomsensor": false,
|
||||
"topsensor": false
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable/disable the usermod
|
||||
By disabling the usermod you will be able to keep the LED's on, independent from the sensor
|
||||
activity. This enables to play with the lights without the usermod switching them on or off.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable the usermod:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d {"staircase":{"enabled":false}} \
|
||||
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the usermod again, use `"enabled":true`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing animation parameters
|
||||
To change the delay between the steps to (for example) 100 milliseconds and the on-time to
|
||||
10 seconds:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"staircase":{"segment-delay-ms":100,"on-time-s":10}}' \
|
||||
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing detection range of the ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor
|
||||
When an ultrasonic sensor is enabled in `Animated_Staircase_config.h`, you'll see a
|
||||
`bottom-echo-us` setting appear in the json api:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"state": {
|
||||
"staircase": {
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"segment-delay-ms": 150,
|
||||
"on-time-s": 5,
|
||||
"bottom-echo-us": 1749
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the HC-SR04 sensor detects an echo within 1749 microseconds (corresponding to ~30 cm
|
||||
detection range from the sensor), it will trigger switching on the staircase. This setting
|
||||
can be changed through the API with an HTTP POST:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"staircase":{"bottom-echo-us":1166}}' \
|
||||
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Calculating the detection range can be performed as follows: The speed of sound is 343m/s at 20
|
||||
degrees Centigrade. Since the sound has to travel back and forth, the detection range for the
|
||||
sensor in cm is (0.0343 * maxTimeUs) / 2. To get you started, please find delays and distances below:
|
||||
|
||||
| Distance | Detection time |
|
||||
|---------:|----------------:|
|
||||
| 5 cm | 292 uS |
|
||||
| 10 cm | 583 uS |
|
||||
| 20 cm | 1166 uS |
|
||||
| 30 cm | 1749 uS |
|
||||
| 50 cm | 2915 uS |
|
||||
| 100 cm | 5831 uS |
|
||||
|
||||
**Please note:** that using an HC-SR04 sensor, particularly when detecting echos at longer
|
||||
distances creates delays in the WLED software, and _might_ introduce timing hickups in your animations or
|
||||
a less responsive web interface. It is therefore advised to keep the detection time as short as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Animation triggering through the API
|
||||
Instead of stairs activation by one of the sensors, you can also trigger the animation through
|
||||
the API. To simulate triggering the bottom sensor, use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"staircase":{"bottomsensor":true}}' \
|
||||
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise, to trigger the top sensor, use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"staircase":{"topsensor":true}}' \
|
||||
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/json/state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun with this usermod.<br/>
