Controlling An LED Matrix With Presets

The LED matrix in my room can do far more than one static color, but only if something decides what it should show and when.

I saved a set of lighting presets in WLED, the software that drives the strips, and then let my house software call them up.

From there the light can follow the time of day, the mood I picked, or who is currently in the room. The long version of this build is a separate video.
