Arduino ASL shield is designed to build an automated stairs lighting system. Can be connected wirelessly with more than 20 of the leading home automation controllers on the market.

Ready to use sketch is included.

            * up to 24 stairs setup availability. 
            * PWM modulation. (stairs fading)
            * Combined with Mysensors. (can be included as relay, in this case no light sensor needed,
                                        just create a Day/Night scene inside your home controller)

NOTE: ASL shield needs Mysensors Gataway to communicate with your home controller. For more info, please visit www.mysensors.org

How To Build:

Bake a PCB by your own or order an assembled one .

1. Follow the schematic sketch bellow to wire it up.
2. Download and install Mysensor and ShiftPWM libraries to ArduinoIDE. Mysensor library: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/master ShiftPWM library: https://github.com/elcojacobs/ShiftPWM
3. Download a sketch from this project page. ( Two options: choose sketch 'ForASLMysensorInkluded' or 'ForASLOnlyLightSensor'for controlling day/night mode.
4. Edit code :Set number of stairs,pause between on/off,fading speed, check your sensors type,adjust photocell sensitivity(if using..)
5. Upload the code to Arduino Nano.
6. Insert Arduino to ASL Shield.
7. Insert NRF24L01+ module .(optional)
8. Set Mysensors plugin to inclusion mode.(optional)
9. Power up ASL Shield. ( optional - means you can skip this step ,if ‘ForASLOnlyLightSensor.ino’ sketch is used ) https://www.openhardware.io//uploads/58e1556cbacb0bcc79a15e40/image/instruction.png
