Movement
Tap a part to switch it on or off. Santa runs whatever is lit.
Lights
Not sure which light is the lantern? Pick a light, set it to Strobe, and see what blinks. Then type a name above.
Santa's voice
This turns Santa into a Bluetooth speaker, so you can talk through him in real time with the Santa voice. Use headphones on your end to avoid squealing.
- Tap Turn on speaker mode.
- In your phone or computer's Bluetooth settings, pair Santa's speaker (it usually ends in "(Live)").
- Come back and tap Start talking.
Dance mode
Play Christmas music, from Santa's speaker mode, your phone, the radio, or this computer, and Santa moves to the beat.
Tips: if you use the mic, put the computer near the speaker. If Santa misses beats, raise sensitivity; if he twitches during talking, lower it. Keep this tab open while he dances.
On Santa
About & help
Santa Workshop is a free, unofficial controller for the 6.5 ft animated, app-controlled LED Santa (model 25SV25199) that normally uses the DecorPro SVI app. It isn't made, endorsed, or supported by Home Depot, Home Accents Holiday, or DecorPro. Use it at your own risk.
Getting started
- Computer: open this page in Chrome or Edge (not Firefox or Safari). Your computer needs Bluetooth.
- Android: open it in Chrome.
- iPhone / iPad: install the free Bluefy browser from the App Store and open the link there. Safari and Chrome on iPhone can't use Bluetooth.
- Switch Santa to Bluetooth/App mode, and fully close the DecorPro app on every phone nearby. Santa only talks to one controller at a time.
- Tap Connect and pick your Santa (usually "Santa Claus", unless you renamed him). If he doesn't show up, tap "Can't find your Santa?" under the Connect button.
Good to know
- Only tested with the 6.5 ft Santa. Other DecorPro SVI decorations may connect, but their parts may not match the buttons.
- Each part (eyes, head, body, arm) can only be switched on or off. He runs his own built-in motion for each part.
- Everything runs in your browser. Light names and settings are saved only on your device.
- Recordings can be up to 1 minute. Uploading to Santa over Bluetooth takes about as long as the clip, sometimes longer.
