Nursery Hacks posted a CheerLights Robot Nightlight project for your baby’s nursery. This is an IR controlled nightlight that is now synchronized to the CheerLights project using a Particle Photon Wi-Fi device and IR LED transmitter.

Demo

Parts

• SleepyLights Robot
• Particle Photon
• IR LED
• 330Ω resistor
• Breadboard

Source Code

The code for the Particle Photon is really straightforward. The gist of the code is that the Particle Photon will request the latest CheerLights color from ThingSpeak. If the color matches one of the defined colors, the Photon will transmit the IR code to the robot just like the IR remote. The robot will change color when CheerLights changes color.
