Very cool. My tree is in 3 sections and there are built in shows that do address individual LEDs...
Any thoughts on how to reverse engineer it to figure out how it is talking to the LEDs? I do not have an oscilloscope or other EE type tools.

- flash WLED onto an ESP8266
- solder a data output and power lines to the LED strip
- go through the list of LED options in WLED until one worked
- try displaying Red, Green, and Blue to confirm that the RGB order was right
It would be pretty rare (I guess) to find a tree that was using a truly custom addressable LED strip with its own protocol
