From Fischco.org:
We recently took the plunge and got a bunch of HomeKit enabled light switches for our house. After that we got a string of the Hue Lightstrips for pretty multi-colored lights!

I prototyped the system out with a full Raspberry Pi 3, but for the final build I used a Pi Zero W since its so much smaller and cheaper.I built a parts list over on the Adafruit website if you want specific links to all the components I used. I didn’t list out things like a soldering iron, connection wire, headers, etc, although a lot of that stuff was also used.
