- pasc1878 3y agoChristmas tree lights always were unreliable. From the UK's Telegraph (which does have a older pre computer readership who would fully understand this ) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2023/12/05/TELEMMGLPICT000358993838_17017975049120_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpeg?imwidth=1280&imdensity=2 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2023/12/05/TELE...

Christmas tree lights had different pattern modes etc. even before they were LED, for decades. I honestly think swapping button on the controller/power supply brick for a Bluetooth remote is a reasonable level of smart in this day and age. It's not like they wanted to connect to WiFi and be app-controlled via their servers or something.
