Is it possible to control the milight bulbs via the wifi bridge to make use of all colors available?
Would make much more fun to program color gradients with more colors than 255...

For example this one (they say it hast 640,000 colours in the description):
http://www.amazon.de/Lampe-original-MILIGHT%C2%AE-dimmbar-Gl%C3%BChbirne/dp/B00NRL73UE?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
1.6 million colours:
http://www.amazon.de/MiLight-RGB-LED-Lampe-dimmbar-Watt-E27/dp/B014J74APA/ref=sr_1_1?s=lighting&ie=UTF8&qid=1460118630&sr=1-1&keywords=milight+16+million+colors

Edit:
I looked it up and the number is limited by the color byte (00-FF ->16^2=256 color codes) which is send via udp. So is it totally impossible to make use of the rest? Or does the bulb use them in those preprogramed disco modes?
