Every year we put out orange lights along our front porch banisters and then a month later we put out white lights for Christmas. I would love to put out a single set of lights and leave them there but have the ability to adjust the color for the two holidays. In selling this purchase to my wife she was excited to potentially leave them out longer for other holidays in early months of the year like red for Valentine’s Day.
I have done some searching but haven’t found the style I would like and often the length is way too long. I would like typical Christmas tree style string lights in 13-15 foot lengths that allow me to adjust the color via remote or app. Doesn’t have to be automated by HE but that’s a plus.
Anyone found such a product? Open to other ideas too.
These may be a bigger bulb than you are looking for, but we've been happy with the Enbrighten Cafe lights... We use non-wifi version on a Caseta plug for on/off automations, and then tweak colors seasonally via the included remote.
Had 'em up here on our pergola in MN for a few years now (pretty extreme hot & cold), and they're holding up well overall.
Twinkly light strings. Highly programmable from an app that you download to your phone. Colors and patterns are adjustable and can be saved. The strings come in several lengths.
Good day, Ahh I share your pain and I tried a DIY hack.
I purchased a "neon light strip" from Costco, here in Canada, available in the US as well.
the strip has 300 leds in it at 16.4 feet. the strip comes with an IR controller. In my first rev I removed the controller that came with it and replaced it with a controller from amazon that works with Magic Home (Hubitat has Magic Home drivers). It worked well and you could control different colours and patterns. I have a pixel blaze controller that I use with some ws2811's in the house on a movie poster frame, I like the patterns in that much better and of course you can create your own and get some pretty cool effects. STAND BY FOR MISSION CREEP..........SO I bought a second strip and a pixelblaze v3 controller (Hubitat has Pixelblaze drivers as well) I had to buy a 5vdc voltage regulator board to power the pixelblaze board from the 24vdc that the neon strips run on. End result works great and I can set a playlist to run through various patterns or just colours. I have now replaced my pixelblaze v2 with a V3 and bought another one for the other strip I had. The spouse has decided that a second strip is required on the front set to augment it (BTW you can connect two strips together max from one power supply with these) If you are running a Rasp Pi or a linux machine there is a good Pixelblaze program to coord all the controllers together, I have not got too far into that as of yet. If you are interested I can take a video this evening with it on and run it through a pattern or two, also a pic or two of the build.
