In this project I will so you a wonderful decorative led lamp with 16×16 matrix. All you are going to see in video, are really different in reality, because camera cannot capture those magic colors that can generate this lamp. Nevertheless it has many patterns, quick, slow, calm, anti stress and many more. It can be connected with a mobile phone to change settings or it can be connected to Home Assistant (HA) and create different automation or alarm style. If you don’t want neither you mobile nor HA, it has a button on the top that you can make most of operation. This decorative Gyver lamp is a great inspiration and imho worth it, total cost is around 35$.
The nice point is it’s really popular and many people has make different firmware and many patterns so you will never get bored with it. The bad point is that all these are in Russian from idea until apps for mobile. You can find more for decorative lamp at author page Gyver lamp. I have test a few firmware and I conclude Whilser firmware suits for my need. It support HA. It support over the air (OTA) upload firmware, so only the first time you have to upload firmware with usb cable, after that you can upload firmware through WiFi. Gunner47 also support HA and it is really good, but I had a few glitch.
