    Looking forward to more details about this build, you used the MPR121 right?

      Yes that's the module.
      Maybe i should use just the chip in next versions to integrate better with the rest so the final board could be smaller

        This is a rough integration of the code with MySensors.
        It sends messages back and forth, so if a button is touched it turns on the corresponding device on the controller and if the switch is turned on the controller, the touch leds are updated accordingly

        #include "mpr121.h"
        #include <Wire.h>
        #include "LedControlMS.h"
        #include <MySensor.h>

         #define BUZZER 7   // buzzer pin
         #define DIN    6   // pin 6 is connected to the DataIn 
         #define CLK    4   // pin 4 is connected to the CLK 
         #define LOD    8   // pin 8 is connected to LOAD 
         #define IRQ    3   // irq pin for touch control
         #define BAKLIT 5   // pin PWM for backlight leds
         
        // ********* MyBuffer ***********************************************************

          I got it finally installed.
          This is what it looks like.

          I'm working on a pcb smaller version. I'll keep you posted.

                I'll post the project when I finish the PCB and everything is a bit more mature.
                I already uploaded the sketch I used here.
                I made it with a max7219 led driver but you could also use a shift register to control the leds with minimal modifications

                  I'll post the project when I finish the PCB and everything is a bit more mature.
                  I already uploaded the sketch I used here.
                  I made it with a max7219 led driver but you could also use a shift register to control the leds with minimal modifications

                  Hi ferpando,

                  I'm also very interested in your project ... so if you can share your full setup that would be very cool. And keep up the good work.

                  BWT. your sketch looks very advanced, this is not your first time ... right :-)

                      I also built a 6way wall switch. It does not have lights but is battery powered and very well documented. It is kind of rocket science because it has a 3d printed housing and a self etched pcb but maybe it helps anyway at least for the (very easy) source code:

                        This looks very nice. Love the led to see what's still on

                          Yes I saw it before and served as inspiration.
                          Now I'm making a more compact version with a custom PCB.
                          I'm new to smc so let's see how it goes :-)

                            I left some light in the leds because when it's dark/night, you can still find the buttons.
                            Now it has 2 leds per button, but the plan is to use an RGB led so it can be further customized.

                              Is there a chance that you can share your full setup? I like your wall touch switch very much. :smile:
