ZZ about how he set up and controlled his lights and that looks like a good solution.

I thought I had it mostly figured out, but I keep finding new things to solve the problems and cant decide the best way to do it. I want to start making a smart home so having them controllable by Amazon Alexa would be cool. I will add additional lights for Christmas to get the whole house.Ĥ. I want to be able to integrate these lights into the Christmas show. I also wanted to use an app to control the permanent lights so the wife and kids can have fun with them without having to learn xlights to do it.ģ. I also don’t want to have wires visible running all over the front of the house.Ģ. Because they are in different sections, they cannot be a continuous line. The problems that I’m trying to plan for are:ġ. There will be a line of them under my garage and house rooflines, and under the windows on front of the house. I am going to install 12v ws2811 nodes under my soffit using j-channel to mount them.

The part I’m having trouble with is deciding how to set up and run the permanent lights. I also plan on buying some diff smart receivers to run some of the different sections of the house. I’ve also downloaded xlights and been learning how to use it. I’ve already purchased a falcon f16v4, 5v and 12v ws2811 pixels, multi port wireless router and psu’s. I think I have the Christmas lights handled for now. It’s incredible that there are so many people with the same obsession that support one another. This will be my first year venturing into The world computer controlled lighting.
