Make a WiFi SMART LAMP from Empty Spools – Alexa – Philips Hue – MQTT – Sound Reactive – WLED
How to 3D Print your own Sound Reactive Wifi Smart Lamp using your Empty Filament Spools with Alexa, Hue, MQTT and App integration
This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇
This upcycled lamp doesn’t cost much for its size and impact thanks to the use low cost legs and empty filament spools for the bulk of the structure. 3D printing finishes of the remainder of the parts including the feet, base, top and shades. A custom PCB makes wiring a cinch and the use of common through-hole components mean no special soldering skills are required either.
It’s driven by an ESP32 running the free WLED software to control the string of addressable 12v WS2811 LEDs. A integrated dial at the top of the lamp allows for dimming at the twist of the top, and a button hidden on the bottom also allows you to change the lighting pattern without needing to find your smartphone. Of course, this can all be controlled using a free app on your phone, Alexa, Hue or MQTT.

I use a Prusa MK3S for my projects and highly recommend both it and the Prusa Mini. If I inspired you to take up 3D printing please consider purchasing a printer via this link: http://shop.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=diymachines
Prusa support my channel when you use that link at no cost to yourself. 🙂
