Its one of these, unfortunately you still need the app to get it to connect to your network, but from then on you can fire packets at it to change the colours.
There is a python library up on github for interfacing with it, and I think there might be alternate firmware for its microcontroller available.
I really wish more of this home automation gear would use powerline networking, no need to faff around with WiFi settings.
- germinalphrase 9y agoI had never read about power line home automation before. Interesting stuff.
- amiga-workbench 9y agoIt's how it used to work, X10 home automation. Incredibly primative but considering we can run Ethernet over the houses electrical wiring now it's a more elegant solution. I have some sonoff wireless power switches for my living room lamps, they keep losing their wireless connection and need power cycling. I don't know if it's crappy firmware of if it's the usual unreliability and fickleness of WiFi.
