BlissLights Star Projector Home Automation Hack / Guide

Ғылым және технология

This is probably the item that gets the most attention in my home automation setup.
It does give off a really cool effect, but out of the box it is unfortunately not suitable for home automation.
However, Fear Not! Here is my hack that I used to incorporate this item into all my home automation sketches. It was not hard to do and I think this guide will help you achieve the same results.

    Seems like a fun project. I may even have my granddaughters help with it since I think they would love this in their room. I always appreciate and enjoy your videos.

    I've been looking for a projector I can automate, and now that I know I can use this one with some simple mods, I just ordered a refurbished one from Blisslights. Thanks for sharing!

    What's the value of the push button switch if this is going to be hooked to a smart switch to simply turn it on/off? Can I simply solder the two points together?

    Do you know how you get rid of the auto timer function. This is perfect for my kids room but once it turns off they wake up and come to bed. I was wondering if if there is some physical in there I can remove for it.

    Just solder in a capacitor across the power button. I chose 47uF so the default state is ON instead of OFF, cause the capacitor is a short circuit during power up. You won't loos any functionality. Now you can turn it on with any smart outlet.

    Rubber band and something to hold the button down. It works just not well as the button is very picky about remaining held down.
