DIY Hue living color light

thingiverse

I crafted this vibrant Living colors look-a-like RGB light to infuse some mood lighting into my living room. Powered by an ESP8266 (NodeMCU V3) and a WS2812B led ring, it shines bright. To control the lights with the Hue app and my Domoticz system, I leveraged the DIYhue project on Github. This ingenious tool allows seamless integration. For building this dazzling light, I sourced several key components: - An 84 mm WS2812b LED ring can be found here: <a href="https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/RGB-LED-Ring-8-12-16-24-Bit-WS2812-5050-RGB-LED-with-Integrated-Driver-Drop/32674368863.html?isOrigTitle=true" title="Link"> Link</a> - A NodeMCU can be purchased here: <a href="https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/New-Wireless-module-NodeMcu-Lua-WIFI-Internet-of-Things-development-board-based-ESP8266-with-pcb-Antenna/32656775273.html?isOrigTitle=true" title="Link"> Link</a> - The DIYhue software project, created by Github user mariusmotea, can be accessed here: <a href="https://github.com/mariusmotea/diyHue" title="Link"> Link</a> The DataIN on the WS2812b is connected to the RX on the NodeMCU. To position and angle the light just right, I designed this custom round shape and separate "stand". It allows for effortless swiveling into any desired spot.
