Dimmable LED kitchen light using Arduino, the APDS-9960 gesture sensor and a 12V RGBWW led strip.
Set light level by moving your hand up and down in front of the sensor. Hold still for 1 second to lock the light level (short blink confirms that the lock is engaged).
Color/temperature calibrated to match the rest of my kitchen lights. Will ignore calibration if set at highest light level.
Making a movie of this was a bit hard, with handling the different light levels and light temperature, but it came out pretty ok.
This device is not (yet) MySensorizied.
