How many of you have a @homeassistant controlled #Christmas ornament?!

This awesome #ESPHome device from Apollo Automation can work standalone by pressing a button on the ornament, or you can flash the firmware with ESPHome capable firmware so you can control it with Home Assistant. Now I can automate the ornament turning on and off, change the colors, and even play built-in songs or even upload my own!

Better yet? 100% of profit goes to #charity !

Since my tree is in the room with the TV when something is watched the tree dims with the rest of the lights. Since the light up ornaments are on the same power strip they dim as well. So sort of. I use a zigbee dimmer meant for a traditional floor lamp.
