I wanted to construct a red LED light, for use in the bedroom at night so I can walk around without using the light on my phone. My partner is an early sleeper, and I'm a late sleeper.
Ideally, it needs to satisfy these conditions:
- Not trigger on small/medium dogs
- Only trigger if i'm walking around the room
- Never triggers when we're in bed asleep.
In terms of integrating, some ideas I have are:
- Using motion sensors placed at corner of the room - I just fear it would trigger false-positives while we're tossing-n-turning in our sleep.
- Place it at the wall next to the door - However, it would only work at the door, wont work when we get up from the bed.
- Use a button - i mean... i want to make it work automatically lol.
- Have a sensor that tracks right above the bed and the laying occupants - This seems like the ideal solution, but how would i limit the field of view of this sensor?
As for the LED, i probably will get a typical analog LED strip running WLED on an ESP32/ESP8266, and only emits the red channel. I would place it under the bed.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks!
