This project is really clever. I noticed a tweet about candy canes made from PVC pipes and fittings…
And, they are right, you can make giant candy canes from some hardware store parts and wrap them with LED lights to create a CheerLights display!
[Kieran Murphy] shared their project on Twitter and also shared the details of the build on their blog. The project uses an ESP8266 microcontroller connected to the Home Assistant project. From there, the candy canes are finished with WS2812B waterproof LED strips and a huge power supply. On the software side, everything flows together using Node-RED.
