CheerLights is a fun and simple collaborative project to start with in your home automation journey. In this chapter, we also learned how to control NeoPixels, which are individually addressable LEDs. What you can do with the NeoPixels is only limited by your imagination. The NeoPixels are ridiculously easy to control and they can be used for some interesting automation projects. Some more practical applications can be to indicate system status of server racks on your workstation desk or to create floating ticker boards. Let your imagination run wild and share what you create!

In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to create a parking space monitor to automatically alert you when your designated parking space is occupied using a machine learning system to ease your vehicle parking headaches. Excited? Read on to learn more.

Cheers!
