I've been playing with Bottango and I think I can make our Paragon move with commands from Home Assistant. I haven't tried it yet. Why would I? Let's see if we can figure it out live!

oh boy. A lot of people have been waiting a long time for me to try this. I'm going to use the DigQuad with an ESP32-AE+ because the AE+ has an SD card slot. WLED doesn't use the SD card slot, but ESPixelStick firmware does. Wish me luck!
