pi-light

A customizable Raspberry Pi Zero W nightlight

What is this repository for?

I needed a nightlight that could be scheduled and color-synced to a particular sleep/wake hour pattern, for a young restless child, you know? If you're in the same boat, feel free to use this, modify it, and share any improvements.

How do I get set up?

• Grab a Raspberry Pi Zero W
• Plug in a NeoPixel strip to 5V (pin 2), GND (pin 6), and MOSI (pin 19). For reference: Raspberry Pi Zero W Pinout
• Clone this repo to the Pi
• Run the following commands:

poetry install
poetry add RPi.GPIO
ENVIRONMENT=prod poetry run python -m app.main

Who do I talk to?

• Peter Gebhard - github.com/pg
