A Smart Christmas Ornament that Gives Back (Apollo Automation H-1 Review)
Review of the Apollo H-1 Holiday Ornament. This smart Christmas ornament lights up, plays music, and connects to Home Assistant for additional features.
This Christmas ornament plays classic holiday music, and has LEDs that light up to match the tune. It’s called the Apollo H-1 Holiday Ornament, and it’s made by Apollo Automation.
Apollo H-1 Annual Holiday Ornament plays three different Christmas songs with unique LED light patterns, and runs on battery or USB-C
100% of the profits from your purchase are donated to local charities that serve children around Lexington, KY in the United States. Apollo is a tiny, start-up in the home automation space, and it’s really cool to see them giving back like this even as a small company.
The ornament has a gold button on the back to activate the music and lights.
- Press once to play Sleigh Bells
- Press twice for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Long press for Let It Snow
If you’re a smart home nerd like me, the ornament even integrates with Home Assistant to unlock additional features. In Home Assistant, you can change the songs and LED effects, and use it as a Bluetooth proxy or for Bluetooth tracking.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and happy holidays.
