Goal

Bild my own Lifx bulb clones using an ESP32 with the possibility to do OTA firmware updates. The FastLED library allows to connect different LED strips to the ESP32.

Subgoals

• ✔️ Connect to Wifi and get recognized by the Lifx app
• ✔️ Turn light on/off
• ⭕ Change colors / color temperature
• ❌ Add compatibilty for "Location" and "Group" functions
• ❌ Add Multizone capabilites
• ❌ Add Tile capabilites

Development setup

I'm using a Sparkfun ESP32 Thing and [Adafruit WS2801 RGB led strips] (https://www.adafruit.com/product/322). Code is uploaded via Arduino IDE and edited in VS Code with the Platform.io extension.
