Hi
Can someone guide me and tell me if this would
A: be feasible
B: too much work
C: possible with off the shelf components
My garden has a diameter of around 60m, 200feet. There's about 30 cement uprights which hold fence panels all the way around.
There's photos of the garden attached.
What I'd like to do is put some lighting in the garden. The easy choice is rgb floodlights, but I'd like LED strips.
What I think I'd like is to put strips of LED's on each of the uprights and when we're sitting in the garden we can have the section where we are white and the rest of the garden having a light show. Or just the bottom few LED's light to illuminate the flowers. The BEST Digital LED Strip Light Tutorial - DIY, WIFI-Controllable via ESP, MQTT, and Home Assistant - YouTube shows what I mean.
Or run all the LED's around the bottom, either in the soil/grass or secured to the bottom of the fences horizontally.
I don't really know any programming languages or have much time so I'd probably have to pay someone to write it.
But if it's hosted/controlled from arduino is there a remote control that I use after installation to switch between programs or would I have to login to switch them?
Even better if there was anyone near me in the UK I could pay to install it all that'd be sweet.
If anyone has any better idea's I'd be happy to change my mind and buy whatever is recommended.
If you hired someone who knew what they were doing it would be feasable just remember the fancier you make it the more it will cost. If its just a few different settings for LED's that should be manageable though. And yes you could pay them to make a remote for it that could either just be like an tv remote kind of deal or they could use a bluetooth or wifi module that could connect to your phone to switch between settings.
You can buy what you want rather inexpensively.
Plug in and remote control
Strip lights and screw in. All work from the same remote.
About the samr price as the patrs you would buy to roll your own

ooh,
would they be able to talk to each other? so they could send a pulse around from one to the next?
or would I be able to have the 2 beside the table/chairs on white light and the others on light displays independent/paired

I have seen remote controlled indoor strips.
This would need to work outdoors.
Any brand you can recommend? Amazon's search is useless these days because they have "sponsored" ads.
