Howdy!
I'm looking to get started for next year, and looking to do it well.
I have a smart-home system that I would to integrate my lights/controllers with. I'd like to get the most out of them too, so I'd like to mount them for Halloween, leave them up for Xmas, a special sequence for NYE and then top it off with some Australia Day lighting.

I'm familiar with networking, can code a little. I'm UI/UX (User Interface) Designer by trade - but dabble in lots of stuff.

I have zero lighting hardware except for dumb led strings.
I'm interested in smart RGB, in strings/panels etc.

I don't have great street frontage - but I have a long steep driveway and a deck that overlooks it, looking back down.

Anyway - time to start preparing for next year and getting the WAF and Financial Approval Process started :)

Welcome Brendan,

There are definitely plenty of us around to help you figure everything out. Come spend some time on live chat ask heaps of questions to get your head around the basics. Xlights has a Zoom Chat we normally hang out on. You can get to it from this link: https://zoom.us/j/175801909

I highly Suggest reading the 101 Manual which has all the basics covered and it the best place to start to learn all the technical jargon.

I know there are a fair few up your way and perhaps you can come to our mini meet up next year (Info soon to be posted).

Anyway Once the financial approval has been passed Prepare to be eating rice every night:D just like a pringles can once you pop you can't stop!
