Thinking of using these as a XMAS tree controller, any code and/or apps done for trees?

Yeah.

I'm working on one I sort of have working and I'd be happy to talk about it. I had it working on HTTP, but you have to turn it on and off manually from a computer. I'm reworking it in UDP so it can be set it up using a computer and then run on its own and keep its own time. The device code is written in Arduino C++ and the controllers are written in vb.net.

BTW. I don't know where you're located, but the NodeMCU ESP8266 is almost the same thing, has an on board voltage regulator so it runs on 5v. and are three for twelve dollars on Amazon.
