The CheerLights color is now set on Discord. This post is from when anyone could tweet a color to CheerLights. Today, use the /cheerlights command on the CheerLights Discord, and see the Learn page for the current API.
It was bound to happen. When you start connecting things, they may turn on you. CheerioBot can be your follower or rebel against your control. This amazing little bot can tweet it’s own colors when the CheerLights Twitter feed is slow. It’s very interesting to think that this device is essentially in a symbiotic relationship with itself and the rest of the world. As with any “good” bot, CheerioBot can turn against the system and rebel by setting itself to another color than what CheerLights is telling it to. I never imagined this when I created CheerLights, but now I can’t imagine the project without the CheerioBot!
