In the same vein as "This is why RAM is so expensive", while rewatching "Holy Grail" for the umpteenth time, I thought that it would maintain the same level of absurdity in 2026 to reproduce the sound of horses' hooves via an app!

Not new, not original, but I did it

Seems unnecessarily complicated but satisfying AF.

I have my continuous glucose monitor integrated into Home Assistant and built a complete, extensive historical monitoring system with full statistics that exceeds the International Ambulatory Glucose Profile standards.

In another installment of my Because I Can Adventures, I used EspHome, an ESP32C3 and a set of WS2811 LED strip lights to build a glucose monitoring Christmas tree that indicates where I stand in my own customized glucose range. My ranges are completely adjustable entities in Home Assistant and can be adjusted at will anytime. The higher I get in my ranges, the higher the indications get on the tree.

Please note that I am currently feeding the tree fake data to send it through all portions of my glucose range every five seconds. A full set of lighting effects are applied on top of the colors.

Entire tree is purple - no glucose data yet received or data is over 10 minutes old and is stale.

Entire tree is dark blue - critical low glucose.

Bottom ring is light blue - low glucose level

Next higher ring is yellow - the is the low end of my normal range.

Middle ring is green - this is my ideal range and sits entirely within the normal range. This is why there is a yellow ring on either side of my ideal range in my normal range.

Next higher ring is yellow - this is the upper end of my normal range.

Top of tree is light red - high glucose level

Entire tree is dark red - critical high glucose

This was a crazy idea and I just wanted to know if I could make it work. Surpriseingly, it works very well and has been entirely reliable for the last several days. I find this really handy and much more useful than I expected!

I hope you are as entertained as I was when building and coding it! It was a fun weekend project!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Is that cool? Or just for me as I made that

We made these "costume" skin for bicycles. They're definitely "unnecessary" :) Got them in Eggplant, Unicorn, Rocket, T-Rex. ????????????
