So I’ve kinda put RGB LEDs all over the outside of my house, and now I figure I should automate them for every.single.holiday. Like red/green for Christmas, orange+lightning for Halloween, etc. Anyone have thoughts on holidays/colours/effects to add?

@33MHz hate putting up lights. Put them up once and run code 😉
521399
@ravisorg darn that .holiday TLD. XD
521397
@33MHz I suppose I could run a site with an API that anyone running the software could connect to to add and update the holiday lists... 🤔

@33MHz thank you for giving me another thing to obsess about.
521402
@ravisorg this is squarely your fault!

I have some figured out already:
Christmas: red/green/white
Hanukkah: blue/white
Kwanzaa: (black)/red/green
Halloween: orange/(black) + lightning flashes
Valentines: red/pink
New Years: multicolour or gold/silver
New Years midnight: fireworks
521417
St Patrick’s day: green
Ramadan: red/blue/green
Chinese new year: red/gold
Thanksgiving: brown/orange/yellow
Canada day: red/white
Remembrance day: red/(black)
Earth day: green/blue
Opposite Day: opposing/colours

Islamic new year: ?
Easter: ?
Women’s day: ?
Mother’s Day: ?
Father’s Day: ?
Family day: ?
April fools day: ?
Talk like a pirate day: ?
Pi day: ?
Star Wars day: ?

...and then there will be tons of international days I could add that I just don’t know about...
521422
@ravisorg uhm, how complete a presentation can you make?
521421
@33MHz I can display 4 colours at once at the moment (4 controllers). And I can program pretty much any kind of animation or sequence into them... is that what you’re asking?
521424
@ravisorg yeah. you said "fireworks", and I'm not sure if you mean literal fireworks, or how much you would make lights look like fireworks.
521425
@33MHz right I’m thinking dark with bright multicolour flashes at random intervals.
521428
521429
@ravisorg photos will be forthcoming? :)

@Andrew it’s really not as impressive as it probably sounds 🙂

@ravisorg this is great, get it built & patent it? #IOT

@33MHz they are, unfortunately, not individually addressable led strips. That would be awesome but somewhat prohibitively expensive.

@ravisorg my neighbours have this laser show Christmas decoration, a few hundred laser points in red and green pointed at the house making weird movements. it drives me insane.holiday! // @33MHz @Andrew
521794
521795
@ravisorg exactly like this. really, this is just too much... // @33MHz @Andrew
521796
@blumenkraft completely agree. Lots of my neighbours have those too and I really dislike them (the lights, not the neighbours, tho some of them too).

@blumenkraft i hate Christmas, it always feels totally wrong to me. Only money, money, money plays a role. I don't celebrate it personally. @ravisorg @33MHz @Andrew

@blumenkraft Christmas would be the wrong date. Combination of biblical news and prophecies, ... to the conclusion that Jesus was born exactly on March 9 of the year 5 BC. \o/ @Andrew @33MHz @ravisorg
521832
@papierzeit only, the Bible is written 300 years after all that happened allegedly. how would they remember the exact date anyway?
521834
@blumenkraft you weren't there live, incredible - yeah, I know what you mean. ;)
Everything to calm the humanity there
521842
@papierzeit yes, Christmas is widely Target & Amazon Day. If you're celebrating Jesus' birth, I think that's cool any day of the year.
@blumenkraft
521837
521843
@papierzeit From my perspective, I appropriate what is a wider cultural holiday, for my personal beliefs, not the other way around. ;)
521838
@papierzeit It's felt really good to stop sharing wish lists and giving gifts that way, but I love giving gifts.
521824
@33MHz i like to give presents, but always do it when I feel like it within the year.
521833
@papierzeit then I'd have no control. haha.
521839
@33MHz I'm doing very well. :)
