This is a house in Zachary, wondering if anyone here has more experience with a setup like this.

Ive done a little research since seeing this last night, seeing some addressable led strands that are controlled with a Pi for Arduino. Just looking for some more streamlined docs or ideas.

TIA

Here's a forum dedicated to do this type of stuff yourself.

There is also a bunch of commercial stuff out there to make it easier. 99% of these houses are most likely using commercial setups instead of building it themselves like the people in the above forum do. I haven't gone to individual bulb control yet. Still using RGB LED strands that aren't individually addressable.

yeah looking at the DIY and all the programming, not much on programming. Can you suggest any of the commercial stuff you've seen for these setups?
