Description

That usermod implements support of simple hand gestures with VL53L0X sensor: on/off and brightness correction. It can be useful for kitchen strips to avoid any touches.

• on/off - just swipe a hand below your sensor ("shortPressAction" is called and can be customized through WLED macros)
• brightness correction - keep your hand below sensor for 1 second to switch to "brightness" mode. Configure brightness by changing distance to the sensor (see parameters below for customization). "macroLongPress" is also called here.

Installation

1. Attach VL53L0X sensor to i2c pins according to default pins for your board.
2. Add -D USERMOD_VL53L0X_GESTURES to your build flags at platformio.ini (plaformio_override.ini) for needed environment. In my case, for example: build_flags = ${common.build_flags_esp8266} -D RLYPIN=12 -D USERMOD_VL53L0X_GESTURES
3. Add "pololu/VL53L0X" dependency below to lib_deps like this:

lib_deps = ${env.lib_deps}
      pololu/VL53L0X @ ^1.3.0

My entire platformio_override.ini for example (for nodemcu board):

[platformio]
default_envs = nodemcu

[env:nodemcu]
board = nodemcu
platform = ${common.platform_wled_default}
platform_packages = ${common.platform_packages}
board_build.ldscript = ${common.ldscript_4m1m}
build_unflags = ${common.build_unflags}
build_flags = ${common.build_flags_esp8266} -D RLYPIN=12 -D USERMOD_VL53L0X_GESTURES
lib_deps = ${env.lib_deps}
  pololu/VL53L0X @ ^1.3.0
