Getting Started

1. Power Up the H-1:

Insert a (rechargable) RC-CR123A aka 16340 battery (ideally 2800mAh or higher) or plug it into a power source using the USB-C port.

2. Turn on the Ornament:

If the device is in sleep mode, press the gold button on the back of the ornament once to wake it up.

3. Play Holiday Songs:

Once the ornament is awake, press the gold button (see image below) to play one of the pre-loaded songs:

  • 1 Press: Sleigh Bells
  • 2 Presses: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
  • Long press: Let it Snow

4. Add to Home Assistant (Optional):

For additional customization, you will need to flash the smart H-1 firmware and then connect to Home Assistant following the setup guide. Through Home Assistant, you can add new songs, change LED effects, and create custom automations.

5. Enjoy Your Ornament:

Hang the H-1 on your tree, place it on a mantel, or incorporate it into any holiday setup for added joy.
