Both my wife and I have a #LEGO set with a light kit hooked up to our #gaming #PC's. So that when our PC's are on the light kit in the hooked up set is on. Due to the motherboard during #WoL the #USB ports those sets are hooked into are always supplying power. As a result they would always be turned on. So used #nodered with information from a #ESP presence sensor, and information from the #unifi #switch the PC's are connected to to determine if they are on. When they are off the NIC speed is

@derickr Using LightMyBricks in all our sets, but love seeing those. Spent Sunday afternoon modding a light kit in the nano gauntlet for more control.

@K4mpfie Ow that's super simple: The light kit purely uses USB for power. It doesn't expose any control API through USB: https://www.lightmybricks.eu/products/lego-nasa-apollo-11-lunar-lander-2-0-10266-light-kit

lowered to 10Mbit instead of the full 2.5Gbit. Used a #AND node in Node Red to get it to work. So now we can just walk out to have dinner and the light kits turn off after a minute of two 🎉 .
