Pattern Injector — for Home Depot R2-D2 — BETA Release
BETA RELEASE: PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
The Umami Labs Pattern Injector is a plug-in controller designed specifically for the decorative light string on the 2025 Home Depot 3.5-ft R2-D2 Holiday Display, model 25SV24905.
It adds 23 custom lighting modes and effects, plus OFF, to R2-D2's decorative light string while continuing to use R2-D2's original control button to cycle through the modes.
The Pattern Injector controls the decorative light string only. It does not modify R2-D2's other lights, sounds, motion, sensors, or other factory functions.
This is an early BETA release, not a mass-produced finished product. By purchasing one of these first units, you're helping me test and refine the Pattern Injector through real-world installations and use. As a BETA customer, you'll also have direct access to me for installation help, troubleshooting, questions, feedback, and reasonable special requests as the project continues to develop.
Your feedback is an important part of this BETA test. I want to know what works well, what could be improved, and what you'd like to see the Pattern Injector do next.
Built to Order
I do not currently keep a large inventory of completed Pattern Injectors. Each unit is assembled by hand after your order is received, then individually installed on my own R2-D2 test setup and checked for proper operation before shipment.
Please allow a few days for assembly and testing before your order ships.
BETA quantities may be limited so I can personally build, test, and support every unit. If this item is temporarily out of stock, please check back. I will be making more and updating the available inventory.
You're also welcome to contact me directly. I may be able to accommodate your request or provide an estimated availability timeframe.
Simple, Reversible Installation
Installation takes only a few minutes and requires no tools, no cutting, and no soldering. The Pattern Injector simply plugs inline with R2-D2's existing decorative light-string connection.
The original wiring and light string remain intact, and the installation is completely reversible.
Once installed, simply use R2-D2's original control button to advance through the Pattern Injector's lighting modes.
The Pattern Injector also remembers your last selected mode and restores it the next time R2-D2 is powered on.
Included Lighting Modes
Static Rainbow - Repeating rainbow colors across the light string.
Sequential Rainbow - The rainbow pattern slowly moves along the string.
Sequential Fading Rainbow - Rainbow colors smoothly fade from one position to the next.
Slow Whole-Strand Color Fade - The entire light string slowly transitions through the color spectrum.
Christmas Multicolor Static - Festive red, green, blue, and yellow Christmas colors.
Christmas Red/Green Static - Classic alternating red and green.
Christmas Red/Green Animated - Red and green bulbs change over time.
Halloween Static - Orange and purple Halloween colors.
Halloween Animated - A changing orange and purple pattern.
Red/White/Blue Static - A patriotic red, white, and blue pattern.
Red/White/Blue Animated - A changing patriotic red, white, and blue pattern.
R2 Blue/White Static - A blue and white pattern inspired by R2-D2's colors.
R2 Blue with White Flashes - A blue background with random white flashes.
White - Steady warm-white illumination.
White Shimmer - Soft white illumination with occasional brighter shimmering flashes.
Red - Solid red.
Orange - Solid orange.
Yellow - Solid yellow.
Green - Solid green.
Cyan - Solid cyan.
Blue - Solid blue.
Purple - Solid purple.
Magenta/Pink - Solid magenta/pink.
OFF - Turns the decorative light string off.
This list is not necessarily finished. If you have an idea for another pattern or effect, please send it to me. BETA testers are encouraged to suggest new modes, features, and improvements.
Installation & Demonstration Video
Want to see exactly how it installs and works? Watch the complete Pattern Injector installation and demonstration video:
Home Depot R2-D2 Pattern Injector | 23 Light Modes + Easy Installation
The video shows the complete installation process and demonstrates several of the included lighting modes.
For Tinkerers & Advanced Users
The Pattern Injector contains a programmable microcontroller. A technically skilled user may be able to reprogram or modify the device, and I'm happy to help other makers experiment with and further develop the concept.
If you have a special lighting sequence, custom behavior, or other modification in mind, email me. I can't promise every request will be practical, but I'm very interested in hearing what other R2-D2 owners would like the Pattern Injector to do.
Compatibility
Designed and tested specifically with the decorative light string on the 2025 Home Depot 3.5-ft R2-D2 Holiday Display, model 25SV24905.
Compatibility with other R2-D2 displays, sizes, or model years has not yet been verified. If you have a different version and are interested in trying the Pattern Injector, please contact me before ordering.
Shipping
Shipping is FREE to the contiguous United States.
Orders outside the contiguous U.S. are not included in the standard free-shipping offer, but I'm happy to try to accommodate them. Email me before ordering with your location, and I'll do my best to determine a reasonable shipping option.
BETA Support & 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
If you experience a problem, have a question, or simply need help installing or operating your Pattern Injector, please contact me by email. Providing direct support to these first BETA customers is an important part of this release.
If you're unhappy with your Pattern Injector for any reason, you may return it within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund of the product purchase price.
My preferred contact method is email:
patterninjector@riggies.com
I want these first Pattern Injectors to work well, and I genuinely want to hear both what you like and what you think could be better. Your feedback will directly help shape where the Pattern Injector goes next.
