Check the grid at the bottom to see if quick breakdown on which updates you might want/need.

August 27, 2026 - Updated

Enchanted Portal

Note that each update contains all the previous updates.

V 1.3 - August 2, 2026

  • Volcano no longer continuously erupts. It will erupt through the entire cycle once and then stop. You will have to trigger another eruption for it to begin again.

V 1.3 update is available essentially for the minimal cost of the SD card and shipping.  See the instructions on how to request the upgrade (TODO). 

V 1.2 - July 25, 2025

  • Timing updates to better sync with Mystic Aurora LEDs
  • Certain combinations of relics would produce a second or two of console showing. FIXED

V 1.0 - July 24, 2024 - Initial Release

October 15, 2026 - Updated

Mystic Aurora

V 1.4 - October 18, 2026

NOTE: Many of these updates may only be pertinent to you if you are using the LEDs standalone via a home controller vs with the Enchanted Portal. So please take a moment to decide what is pertinent to your usage.

  • Since the Volcano no longer continuously erupts in the Enchanted Portal version 1.3, the mystic Aurora needs to mimic that action. This fixes that. If you do NOT have version 1.3 of the Enchanted portal and decide to get this Mystic Aurora update you should also get the V1.3 portal update.
  • Lava was a forever effect. It can now be a timed effect.
  • If an effect interrupts an ongoing storm or eruption on the Enchanted Portal,  the lightning/lava and other elements would get out of sync. This update attempts to fix that problem and keep the storm/eruption effects in sync as best as possible for all situations.
  • The Pulse effect no longer goes all the way OFF during a pulse but rather is a subtler and non-jarring change.
  • Minor update to fix a visible hiccup when the Chase effect was being used.
  • When possible the LEDs will slowly change from one color to another rather than a sudden and abrupt change. E.G. when changing the time of day on the Enchanted Portal the LEDs will gradually fade from day (blue) to sunset (orange). This effect will be used whenever possible to transition the LEDs.
  • Minor update to try and sync lightning a little better with Enchanted Portal storm. This resulted in the Enchanted Portal sometimes reacting up to one second faster when triggered from the Relic Amplifier.  

NEW EFFECTS

  • Fireflies
  • Fade to Color
  • Fade ON/OFF
  • Trigger lightning for a given amount of time with a given frequency. 
  • Updates for Home Controllers such as Home Assistant
  • Display last URL for cut and paste into various home controllers.
  • Ability to control length of a given effect in most cases to better create scenes. E.G. Lightning every 2 seconds for 10 seconds and then turn off.

V 1.4 update is available for the cost of shipping your Mystic Aurora box (NOT the LED Strip).  Every effort will be made to return ship the item as quickly as possible.

October 31, 2026 - Updated

Tippy TNT

Some users experienced rapid battery depletion when the crate was left on. The problem was traced to the way the microchip maintains it's Wifi or other connection (like to the Enchanted Portal).  Changes were made both to the chip as well as how it maintains it's connections. Battery life doubled, tripled, or more in most scenarios. 

V 2.0 update is available for the cost of shipping your Tippy TNT Crate.  Every effort will be made to return ship the item as quickly as possible.

To get this update please email support@tikibar.tech for details.

Update Need Matrix

Get the Enchanted Portal Update

Get the Enchanted Portal Update.  Really? You've seen the glitch? It took me over a year to see it and I'm running the thing all the time, lol.

Unless you care about the volcano eruption change above then you don't need the update.

Get BOTH the Enchanted Portal update AND the Mystic Aurora LEDs update.

If you're happy with how things are working now then you probably don't need the Enchanted Portal OR the Mystic Aurora LEDs updates. The most visible change is during lengthy storm usage as the lightning will try and remain better in sync with the screen. Other LED effects are more subtle and probably go unnoticed if you are not looking for them. 

However if you decide to update you should be sure and get BOTH the Enchanted Portal AND the Mystic Aurora updates.

If you mainly control your LEDs via the interface or a home assistant type program then you likely do not have the Enchanted Portal. In either case the updates might be worthwhile for you as they offer some updated features and new effects.

You DO NOT need the Tippy TNT update.

Get the Tippy TNT update if you feel it would increase your enjoyment of the item.
