I am still hoping someone comes up with a bluetooth/raspberry pi device handler for these:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/LightShow-Applights-24-Light-LED-C9-Shape-String-Light-Set-37207/205952111
They are bluetooth controlled from a smart app, since the bluetooth radio in ST has never been turned on the best way would be a raspberry pi as bluetooth pass through.
@erocm1231 did it with MiPow bluetooth Playbulbs.
I have been working on a web service and Device Handler to control the MiPow Playbulb candles with a Chip computer (or Raspberry Pi with Bluetooth Dongle). Everything seems to be working great at this point.

Chip Setup
Note: Run all commands as root or put “sudo” in front of them
Install the following packages:
apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Copy the contents of playbulb.php into a file located in /var/www/html/
vi /var/www/html/playbulb.php
Edit the section under “#### EDIT SETTINGS HERE ####”
You will need to put the MAC address of your Playbulb’s here as well as the handle that controls the color and effect. There is a good chance, that our handles are the same, but I did create a tool to help you figure it out if not.
You can get the MAC ad…
I wish I had the time and tech to look at the bluetooth data for the applights because this would be killer
