FAQ
Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.

I wonder if the reason for the cloud based system is to try and prevent the inevitable clones using the app. I've considered buying these a few times, but the cost always puts me off. With the appearance of copper-wire style WS2812B style addressable LEDs there's probably going to be competition soon.

@Alleroc 3 года назад

Definitely so. I have had clients request products I make be integrated with cloud based applications for that reason specifically.

@TheRealColBosch 3 года назад

Yeah, I'd want at least a PC app that can store all the data locally. It's a shame, because I love holiday lights. I've still got my Halloween fairy lights twinkling away merrily. I'd really like to be able to replace them with RGB, and at first this system looked just like what I want...but when the cloud server inevitably fails in a couple years, that'd be that for my expensive lights.

I like the mapping function, looks like the developers behind the software really thought that one out well. Not having a local based software for saving settings is a definite disadvantage though, as with many cloud services there is the danger it will either get closed down, or suddenly have a subscription in the future.

The reason I'm saying all this is because IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!! FUN TIMES FOR FAMILY!!!!! But also a time of soul destroying misery for others. Honestly and truthfully I wish you all the happiest Christmas ever cos I think we deserve that at least, but most importantly, make sure the people you love know that you do. EVERY day. NOT because you bought a card or bought an expensive gift, the unconventional way. Through showing it every day. Love you Mat and wish all of you all the (Covid permitting) best for the new year

I bought one of these a couple of years ago and we love it! Love the gallery of designs and very cool that you can create your own designs too. Easy to set up and use. We also have a regular 14' tree and I bought a 400 light string of twinkly lights last year to replace the stock lights. Again, it looks fantastic. Just as easy to set up as the twinkly tree. The twinkly website suggested 1200 lights to properly cover the tree, I can't imagine why anyone would use that many, total overkill. Anyway, thanks for the post, Mat. Cheers, David

It should be mentioned that you can buy the lights separately to put on a tree you already have. I bought the 400 light set and paid about $175. I think they're pretty awesome and worth the money. You can also map the lights with the app locally without it having to be uploaded to the cloud and it works really well.

My family has used the same artificial tree for twenty years. Individual clumps of branches hook onto a central pole at several height levels. The whole thing can be disassembled and stored in a bag in the attic. It even sheds like a real tree, as more plastic needles fall off each year. I love the convenience of never having to worry about getting a new tree each year. Fun story about Christmas tree lights: my grandfather always wanted a tree with all blue lights, but he was too cheap to buy one. Every time a light blew out on his strand of multicolored lights, he'd replace it with a blue bulb. My dad's childhood was spent watching the tree gradually get more and more blue until grandma forced him to just buy replacements for the last ten colored bulbs, because it was driving her crazy to have a 98% blue Christmas tree.

You can get WS2812 pixels and theres loads of devices such as the ESP32 or ESP8266 that can receive Artnet/ E1.31(sACN) when running something like the espixelstick firmware or something more feature rich WLED where it has its own built in effects but still can be controlled via Artnet/ E1.31.

Dependency on the cloud instantly killed any interest in this product. Looks cool though.

that's kinda cool! if the wife and I hadn't already bought a fake tree for our apartment we'd definitely have considered going with one of these! she really got a kick out of the different lighting design effects that'd be really cool while listening to your holiday playlist.

This would have been the perfect thing for the 1998 version of me. Just get it out of the box, plug it in and done. None of those balls of glass or other rubbish, just the lights.

This could be great in a shop window to attract attention/customers, but not so great at home as it would get pretty annoying after 30 minutes.

I would never ever buy this kind of stuff, but you made my day just by showing it ! Thanks a lot.

"Updating firmware for a Christmas tree," yup, Internet of Shit strikes again

Dressing like a Bond villain and showing us your "new technology" in your "lair..." That tree is going to explode isn't it?

I absolutely adore this! And I will save up all my money to get something like this next time we need to go shopping for a new Christmas tree. I can't wait but I have to. I absolutely adore this so much! Upload another video like this one!

Had gen 1 twinkly light for 3 xmas's now. I love them when they're up but the app has always been garbage.

This hi-tech christmas lights are incredible.

I'm eagerly waiting for the day when I can finally buy DLC-s for my christmas tree up until the point where - to quote TC - the startup behind it inevitably folds and my tree gets bricked entirely. Sarcasm aside, I do like the concept, I just wish that we'd have retained something from the horrible, dumb Stone Age of actually giving out at least basic standalone softwares for various stuff.

This is the kind of fun application of technology that makes me more willing to accept the responsibilities that the more serious applications create.
