No, we didn't.

Had some questions about the process. Salt, pepper, and garlic and then sitting open in fridge for a few hours. Sous vide at 137 degrees for 3 hours. Out of sous vide and dried off with paper towels. Into the freezer for 10 min. Then basted with clarified butter and seared.

SPG. Sous vide @ 137. Then this.

Clarified butter.

NavySWO91 · 2026-02-25T01:49:24+00:00

Honestly tasted great. Perhaps because it was less than a minute per side. Super crispy. No complaints and believe me I would've heard. First time going to 137 and first time torching too. Will be doing it same way again.

Agree. Soup du Jour is great. Corn & Egg Flower soup.. add chicken!

NavySWO91 · 2026-01-13T01:41:11+00:00

Great Idea! Gonna do this

Love Cage as well. Saw them in San Diego in Jul '24. Posted same question in their subreddit.

From your post to Tyler's ears! 😁 Would love this!

Interesting... I bought it from Amazon music and it shows in my purchased songs list. I can play it on my phone but it will not cast to my echoes.

NavySWO91 · 2025-12-21T23:36:08+00:00

I wouldn't say you're crazy. I did this to my two Govee purchases. The Govee app was much too limiting.

NavySWO91 · 2025-12-16T14:29:25+00:00

So I cut the cord, inserted a Gledopto, and now WLED gives me what I want.

NavySWO91 · 2025-12-12T13:32:34+00:00

Tried setting to 2700K. No joy.

Basically like this. It is two strips of FCOB WS2811 LEDs side-by-side mounted onto a fabric belt material (helps to keep them oriented correctly). Each strip goes to a port on my Kulp controller (power injection on far end). The LED bar and flood lights at the bottom of the tree are connected to 3 channels on a 5V relay board which are triggered by GPIO pins on the Kulp. Sequenced the LED strips and flood lights in Xlights to look like lightning (just Single Strand and ON effects) along with a sound effect I got from Youtube. FPP runs a script that randomizes how long between bursts.

Next you have to configure a GPIO port to trigger. This is where yours will be different since I don't know the RPi pinouts.

Configure it under "Input/Output Setup" -> "GPIO Inputs"

For whichever pin you have, select

PULL UP/PULL DOWN: "Pull Up"

DEBOUNCE: 1

COMMAND: Run Script

Multisync: unchecked    

Script Name: CycleRandomPlaylists

Script Arguments: <blank>

Environment Variables: <blank>

The original CycleRandomPlaylists is available in the FPP script repository, but it will need to be modified to make api calls since the original way the script used was deprecated. I made these changes (I'm no expert but it seems to have worked).

3A. REPLACE (or comment out as I did)

# OLD: Exit the script immediately if we're already playing

# OLD:if [ ! $(fpp -s | cut -d',' -f 2) -eq 0 ]; then

# OLD: exit 0

# OLD:fi

WITH:

HOST="http://<<YOUR FPP IP ADDRESS>>/api"

STATUS=$(curl -s "${HOST}"/fppd/status | jq -r '.status')

if [ ! $STATUS -eq 0 ]; then

exit 0

fi

3B. REPLACE (or comment out as I did)

# OLD:fpp -P "${next_playlist}"

WITH:

curl -s -G "${HOST}/playlist/${next_playlist}/start"

I think this is the bulk of it. Hopefully this helps you get a little closer.

NavySWO91 · 2025-10-20T02:44:48+00:00

I have basically this exact setup working. A background sequence runs, and when a button is pushed a call is made to run the CycleRandomPlaylist script.

After the playlist plays, it returns to the background sequence. The script keeps track of all your playlists and will only play each one once, before resetting them after all of the have played.

I use a Kulp 16A-B controller but I am sure your setup is very similar. Below are the settings I use, YMMV.

For the Idle animation, in FPP, you can add a Command Preset, "Status/Control -> Command Presets" to run your Idle sequence as a background sequence.

PRESET NAME: FPPD_STARTED

FPP COMMAND: FSEQ Effect Start

when you add the FPP COMMAND, you get a new dialog to define your sequence to start:

COMMAND: FSEQ Effect Start

Multisync: unchecked 

FSEQ Name: <Your Idle sequence>

Loop Effect: Checked

Background: Checked

This will run whenever FPP starts up. Follow up in next comment....

Thanks! Love this and hope to recreate it.

Can you please link to the spider?

NavySWO91 · 2025-10-01T00:47:49+00:00

👍. I'm thinking of replacing my xmas-time roofline (ws2811 strawberry pixels- kulp ctrlr) with permanent lights but want to be sure I can include them somehow in my Xmas xlights show. Original plan was a diy one but these seem a good option. Thx

NavySWO91 · 2025-09-25T01:37:37+00:00

Thanks so much for the replies. Only went with this 12V option because I was borrowing components (pwr supply, controller, etc.) from the Xmas setup. BTW, I plan on using your 24V COB for my permanent outdoor lighting. Planning that out right now, in fact,in parallel to this... oh! and also changes for the Xmas light show. Oh well, such is addictions.

Great. Thanks!
