Very cool

Oh my!!! Don’t show that to my wife. She’ll have me ordering cheap lights and water cans from Amazon on 2-hour delivery, so I can build six of them tonight!!!

Seriously, a very creative display. How many are you scheduled to build this week?

I happen to have had these on my desk for the last year so.....

Looking so nice!!

I'm not fancy like that, but I gotta say that is an amazing use of lights and automation.

Wanted to add Zigbee but my wife said leave it alone.

Will take some photos tonight if I remember.

TomG · May 23, 2022, 8:58am

Can’t remember where we bought it. I’m thinking Menards

How do I upload a short video?

God commands you to add zigbee to it. Think it's somewhere in the old testament.

I don't think you can post videos directly here. I have just uploaded clips to YouTube, and linked them to my posts.

Correct.

@TomG

You should point out to your better half that Exodus 20:8-11 prohibits working on Sabbath day, so the lights should not be turned on or off manually on the Sabbath.

One way to adhere to this commandment would be to use a zigbee outlet that is controlled by an automation. Of course, the automation itself has to be programmed on any day other than the Sabbath.

See, even God wants you to have a zigbee outlet

The watering can is battery powered. Really should sneak another one into the workshop and modify it.

The ones I posted above are solar powered. 8 bux at home depot
