I've got a TP-Link Omada EAP225-Outdoor access point mounted to a pole at the front of my drive, I can pick that up at the end of my street, although it's useless at that range because my phone can't transmit that far, it still has great reach. I use that mainly during Christmas when I'm out...

Another Kiwi, awesome. If you're wanting to start out with something simple, take a look at WLED. There are many available products that run this software, the Quinled range (https://quinled.info/) is very beginner friendly. That is just a controller, it is possible to use this with xlights...

I've been looking for something the same, came across this site here. https://backlitledsign.com/products/3d-metal-backlit-residential-address-sign

Wled doesn't support 12bit, only 8bit

I've seen that video, from memory he places led strips against the rocks and glues them down, then places clear pebbles over top. Being that it's not a screen or matrix display, I would consider the 2805 but the 24v variant giving the rgbcct option. I don't imagine once mapped correctly that the...

I run two shows as one show. Xlights and vixen sequences running together. I just name them all the same thing and use remote/master control. When the master player calls for xyz sequence, xyz sequence (even though it's made in xlights) will run on the remote player. You may be able to do...

I just want to add onto this. Any solder joints done on a seed pixel string (unsupported) like this, where it's flapping around in the wind, may not survive. Solder generally shouldn't be used as a mechanical support.

I picked up a whole lot of infinity star hanging things (similar to icicle lights) after Christmas, indoor use only though, should look nice in the windows

Live should always be the conductor being switched, neutral should never be switched unless you are using a double pole switch/relay to do both live AND neutral at the same time. Both the Neutral and earth wires bypass the relays and go straight to wherever you are connecting to. IF you do not...

Yes, I've added multiple 20A (at 240V as in NZ we use 240v) circuits, a dedicated 32A circuit to feed a large temporary distribution board that can be put outside each season, and a couple of dedicated 15A outlets, mainly 15A because they were available second hand cheap and they'll handle the...

Considering most controllers are 10/100, cat6 is overkill for the data going to them. I would not use Ethernet cable to run led data/power to leds.

If it's data with backup data, and a 12v string with individual LEDs, it will likely be a ws2815 string, tie backup data to ground at the start.

The only way through will be to drill a hole, doesn't need to be large if it's just a single wire. The mortar will be softer and less likely to chip as well.

How does one get that data? I don't see any downloads/save buttons. Just been told in chat, that adding /csv to the end of the IP address (in my case 192.168.1.153/csv for example) it downloads everything since last power-up

Can confirm this is how I'm running my signals board, works brilliant.
