This project won't be updated any more. Please use WLED instead.
This project is for controlling RGB-Strips (e.g. WS2801) using an ESP8266 board like the NodeMCU. You can controll it using a Web-GUI or a cross-platform software (Windows, Linux, Mac). If you want to do your own thing, you can just use this project to send POST requests to the ESP. This allows you to do much things with your RGB-Strips like integrate it into your home automation or controll it via Google Assistant.
