Hi Steve, Check out my uploaded video.

I'm controlling the waterfall string lights (3 wire) using the DMX2-18 with a special setup in xlights.
I'm also controlling the fence 2 wire strings and the 2 wire blue icicle lights...
have a look at https://www.home-assistant.io/. it might have an interface for the lifx bulbs. if so you may be able to use mqtt to control the lights, but it will be slow to change the settings.
Hi all, Thanks for all the information. Last night I installed FPP on a PI 4 and can confirm that I can control this tree using xlights through the pi.
I cut of the tree controller and used a 3v to 5v converter on the raspberry pi GPIO pin. Two universes with 300 channels each.
Hi all, You can control these lights. I was the person on the chat group last year asking, and I was able to control them using a DMX2-18. We need to use 2 outputs on the controller, and setup xlights a special way. I'm not sure this is how Alan designed the controller. It's worked very well...
Hi there ACL,
I found some time to take sample videos tonight.
Here are the links. Hope you enjoy, the kids in the street seem to like the displays. The mate across the street has also done a very nice static display. Always looks better for real.
