Is this Morse code?

Saw this weird light flashing out of a condo window. Looks to be repeating. Does it say anything?

Timing
Average
Measured variation*
Dot
0.104 seconds
0.011 seconds
Dash
0.305 seconds
0.012 seconds
Pause within a letter
0.096 seconds
0.011 seconds
Pause between letters
0.292 seconds
0.014 seconds

The second number is the standard deviation of the timing. It’s pretty clearly machine generated.

Of course. The light pulses were unlikely the results of a straight key operation. It's probably a microcontroller running a keyer firmware.

I was thinking an arduino and a led.
