CheerLights Potted Tree Connected With an ESP8266 LED Wi-Fi Controller

Posted on December 10, 2016October 28, 2026 By Hans Scharler No Comments on CheerLights Potted Tree Connected With an ESP8266 LED Wi-Fi Controller

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.

Here’s a project that uses an ESP8266 LED Wi-Fi controller on Amazon. This little device is an LED controller with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi device inside. It can be reprogrammed to subscribe to the CheerLights MQTT topic on iot.eclipse.org. CheerLights Potted Tree

CheerLights is an “Internet of Things” project created by Hans Scharler where people volunteer to synchronise their lights all across the world to one colour. In a truly democratic fashion, the colour changes by anyone sending a tweet with a colour + #cheerlights.
