How I made an LED driver smart… [blog]
Read OriginalThe article is a technical tutorial on retrofitting a bathroom cabinet's IR-sensor LED light with smart home capabilities. The author describes the hardware (transformer, control box, LED driver), attempts to intercept the IR sensor signal with an ESP32, and the mistakes made, including insufficient current and accidentally shorting the mains, leading to a blown PCB trace. The goal was to integrate the light with Home Assistant for automated control.
