This guy seriously knows how to have a geeky Christmas. Brian “Schwippy” has hooked up his christmas lights to wifi using an x10 system. X10 basically is for home automation and he has it so it can be controlled by anyone on the internet. Simply click the buttons at the top of the page and watch as the lights on the tree go on and off with a webcam. There are 4 colors that can be individually controlled.
These lights going on and off must be seriously annoying. Anyways they did an awesome job, heres the link. I talked to Brian today, and he says that the way the lights fade make it more like mood lighting than annoying.
The picture to the right is a screenshot of me turning on all the lights. I had to be quick before someone turned them off!
