Illuminate Your Garden with DIY Crystal Path Lights: WiFi Control and Sunset Timer Using Feather Huzzah ESP32

Crystal garden path lights

Are you looking to add a touch of magic to your garden? Check out the latest tutorial from Erin St Blaine and learn to build yourself some magical garden path lights.

This DIY project uses the Feather Huzzah ESP32 microcontroller from Adafruit and NeoPixel LEDs to create a modular, weather-proof crystal pathway that can be controlled from any smartphone or browser via WiFi. Plus, with the WLED app, you can set up dazzling light animations and a sunset timer to bring your garden to life at dusk.

From the guide:

Turn your garden into a nighttime wonderland with a twinkling lighted crystal-lined pathway.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to build your own modular, weather-resistant pathway lights that are anything but ordinary. These lights are fully controllable using the free, open-source WLED software, so you can create dazzling light shows right in your backyard with no coding required. Sync multiple strips together using your local WiFi network. Control and program the lights with your smart phone or any web-enabled browser, enabling them to come on at sunset and turn off again at whatever time you choose.
