This is the final part of my staircase light odyssey. The idea was simple. Have some lights near your stairs that light up when it is dark and someone want to go down the stairs. EASY! Right? Well, the first attempt was a fail and the second one kind of worked but came with too many annoying problem. So this time I am using the power of ESPHome and a Radar sensor to make this as simple as possible. Let's get started! ;-)
