Here’s a small Python program that uses the SecretAPI to send a stream of randomly coloured lights scrolling down your Holiday.
Usage: python nye.py ip-address-of-holiday optional-frame-rate
And here’s the code. Copy and paste it in and have fun!

Update: Had a little think about it, and added some interpolation code. Now the string generates a random colour and moves from that to another random colour in a smooth transition. Essentially it means the globes become a series of rainbow washes moving down the string.
