So Cherzli - Wifi Multispectrum Candle

So Cherzli – The Smart Candle With a Geeky Heart

It's available for order on the Solid Difference Web Shop.

Meet the So Cherzli — our WiFi‑enabled, ESPHome‑powered electric candle designed for geeks, makers, and smart‑home enthusiasts who want ambience with superpowers. Built on the highly capable ESP32‑S3 platform and inspired by the Swiss‑German word “Cherzli” (a small candle), this tiny light packs an impressive amount of tech into a tea‑light‑sized form factor. It’s the perfect blend of Solid Difference design philosophy: playful, high‑quality, and unapologetically nerdy.

At its core, So Cherzli is a 38.6 mm round, USB‑C powered smart candle featuring warm‑white LEDs, deep‑red accents, UV LEDs, and an entire ring of individually addressable RGB LEDs — exactly as described in its open‑source reference implementation on GitHub here. Thanks to full Home Assistant integration via ESPHome, you can automate every detail: flicker intensity, RGB animations, UV accents, brightness, scenes, and even advanced effects like rainbow, twinkle, and realistic candle flame simulation. If it lights up, you can script it.
