In a car? Connect your phone to the car's Bluetooth or CarPlay first, then tap Listen. Drivers: please let a passenger do it, or tap before you pull away.
Music ahead of or behind the lights?
Bluetooth speakers and car stereos add a small delay. Slide right if the music sounds late.
Our street's lights, dancing together
Craftsman Christmas links the holiday lights on our street so they flash and sparkle to the same Christmas music, all at the same moment.
How it works
Your lights
The Govee Wi-Fi Christmas lights you already have. No changes to them.
A small box
A Raspberry Pi, set up for you, plugged into your internet router. It talks to your lights inside your home.
One show
Christmas music plays, and every house on the street lights up on the beat.
Joining takes about 15 minutes
- Plug in your box next to your router.
- Turn on "LAN Control" for each strand in the Govee Home app.
- Sign in here with your address and the street passcode from your flyer. Join the show
- Pick your lights and who runs them.
You're in charge of your lights
Street show
Your lights join the street's show during show hours.
My own
Pick your own colors and effects, just for your house.
Off
The show leaves your lights alone. Switch any time.
Privacy and safety
- We only know your address and first name. We never ask for your Govee account.
- Your box only talks to your lights and to this website.
- Every phone that signs in is approved by the organizer. You can only change your own house.
- Lights never flash more than three times a second.
Questions
Does it cost anything?
No. The organizer provides the box.
Will it use a lot of internet?
No, only tiny timing messages, much less than a video call.
What if my internet goes down?
Your lights keep the current show going, and rejoin by themselves when the internet is back.
Can I still use the Govee app?
Yes. Set your house to Off or My own first, or the show may take your lights back on the next beat.
Which lights work?
Govee Wi-Fi lights with "LAN Control" in the Govee app. Most of their Christmas strands and string lights have it.
How do I leave?
Choose Off on your house page, or unplug the box.
