I would like to add a 5volt “Neopixel WS2812B” led strip as a device state indicator for Alexa Pi

I don't need any fancy animation. I just want

Alexa on idle> Neopixel off.
Wake word Alexa> Neopixel on.
Alexa thinking> Simple animation.
Alexa speaks> Simple animations.

You can completely customize the indicators in here: https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi/tree/master/src/alexapi/device_platforms You can either edit one that suits you best or better make your own using an existing platform file as a template.

However I don't recommend sticking with this project as it has been abandoned for quite a while - use at your own risk. :wink:
