Transform your standard IKEA FADO table lamp into an interactive Smart Home gadget! 💡✨
The original base of the FADO lamp is too small to hide smart electronics. This custom-designed replacement base provides enough space to mount a D1 Mini (ESP8266), an LIS3DH accelerometer, and a WS2812b LED ring.
Why this upgrade?
Tap Control: Thanks to the accelerometer mount, you can toggle the light simply by knocking on the glass sphere.
Clean Look: All electronics and cables are hidden inside the 3D print.
ESPHome Ready: Designed for seamless integration with Home Assistant.
📝 Full Tutorial & Code
I have written a detailed guide on how to wire everything up and provided the full ESPHome YAML code (including the tap-detection configuration) on my blog.
