CheerLights Christmas Tree

I couldn't keep the tree up forever, so I made this:

This is a resin Edison bulb. I used PVC pipe to make an industrial lamp housing. Right below the lamp is a NeoPixel Jewel, and nestled into the rear of the pipe bend on the left is an Adafruit QT PY. I just used a rotary tool to create a notch for it. My husband built the filament.

(One of these days I'll get a pressure pot so I don't have to deal with so many bubbles.)

We thought it would be cool to have the ability to update the color from a web page, so I put together a small ASP.Net application to make it happen. The code for that is at GitHub, but here is the database schema:

I'm using SQL Server. 

Here's the Json for the lights feed from my web site:

Code is on GitHub.

The code first checks my web site to see the latest color, then goes to ThingSpeak for the latest CheerLights color. The code compares the two and then sends the most recent one to the NeoPixels.
