Love the stairs! Looks like something I'd like to try in my house.

Looking forward to your build!

Awesome audition Lorraine, looking forward to your project! I bet there are LEDS involved.

This project is just fantastic!

The incredible nice scenic effect of these stairs is attractive and spectacular.

Super rad! I love projects like this that combine a little clever circuitry with at-a-glance information! Also useful for not breaking one's neck when going down for a midnight snack [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-195b02b5-8d67-4139-a87b-91d0150e7d6c/6708.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Hmmm... perhaps I should try a Lancashire variation of this based upon rainfall. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-195b02b5-8d67-4139-a87b-91d0150e7d6c/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Could base it on Rob McKenna's two-hundred and thirty-two types of rain...

Type 11: breezy droplets
Type 17: dirty blatter (McKenna's least favourite type)
Type 33: light pricking drizzle which made the roads slippery
Type 39: heavy spotting
Type 47: vertical light drizzle
Type 51: sharply slanting light to moderate drizzle freshening
Types 87 and 88: two finely distinguished varieties of vertical torrential downpour
Type 100: post-downpour squalling, cold
Type 123: mild cold gusting
Type 124: intermediate cold gusting
Type 126: regular cab-drumming
Type 127: syncopated cab-drumming
Types 192 to 213: seastorm types
Type 232: Bucketing down

Great audition tape [mention:ee607b7974e149a19ce2be66ac739e1e:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ! Loved the build and how we had to be quiet to get the demo. (I get it - No fun if the kids wake up.)

Hey [mention:7584fcdb3ffe4e6db23541344db4fcad:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] - let's get Lorraine her shopping cart!

Fantastic Lorraine, i've been following your LED stairs build for ages! Looks great.

Lorraine,

Wow, a really nice effect. This is not something I would have thought of doing but it looks great, probably better in real life. I like the idea of making the light colour related to temperature. I also like the concept of using GPS to get the localised temperature as well. You could also include effects related to rain as well as wind speed. It would save me asking Alexa three different questions.

A great presentation.

Dubbie

PS If you want to experience temperatures greater than 26 C then just move to the South and experience 30+ C - which is just getting a bit too hot for me.

It looks fantastic! I have a hall leading to a back stairway that is not particularly well lit and the wall switch is a ways into the hall. Maybe I could do something like this and have a PIR or something to trigger it when the area is entered.

Nice project! Practical, and efficient. Also, stair lighting is great when one is only half awake : ) I've got a string of Xmas lights down the stairs, so there's some basic level of lighting at night-time, but they have faded a bit. Maybe it's time to upgrade to such Internet-connected lighting : )
