Hi,
Thanks for making your code public. I used it to create my own stairlight, but the ToF sensors were a little too sensitive in my setup, it sometimes triggered a number of breakbeam and breakbeam-clear events directly after each other when passing the sensor. So I decided to incorporate a small 'debouncing' function in the lambda-function. In this case I have an update interval of 0.1 second and a debouncing threshold of 10 (10 * 0.1s = 1 s), meaning that after the beam has been broken every new reading within 1 second after that will simply be ignored. This kept my automation from 'bouncing' around.
I hope you may see the benefit of this and will include it in your code.
