The holiday season is here, and what better way to celebrate than with some festive lighting? I’ve been experimenting with my Govee lights this year, and I’ve got to say, they’ve really elevated my home’s holiday decor. From the outdoor pathway lights to the festive patterns on the ferris wheel-like setup, it’s been a blast creating these magical scenes. 
One thing I’ve been working on is ensuring that my lights don’t repeat colors too quickly. I’ve set up an automation that changes the colors every five minutes, but I wanted to make sure each bulb gets a unique color each time. I found that using a variable to track the previous color and removing it from the list works like a charm! Here’s a quick tip: if you’re using something like Home Assistant, you can use the random filter and a list of colors to achieve this. It’s all about keeping the festive spirit fresh and exciting!
I’d love to hear how everyone else is setting up their holiday lights. Are there any must-have apps or tools that make coordinating colors a breeze? Let’s share and inspire each other to create the most wonderful holiday lighting displays!
