way to control led strips by phone

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/led

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • HelloNeoPixel

    Sandbox for learning to use individually-addressible LEDs using MicroPython

  • Bonus for using the ESP32--it can run Micropython, and the Micropython Neopixel library is quite good. A long time ago, I wrote a package for prototyping and managing animations. Feel free to take a look at that--the release pages contain sample projects.

  • WLED

    Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!

  • I saw WLED which is *fairly* close to what I want. It provides the phone app, but also provides a flash image for the esp chip that you basically just plug the strip into.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • MicroWebSrv

    A micro HTTP Web server that supports WebSockets, html/python language templating and routing handlers, for MicroPython (used on Pycom modules & ESP32)

  • setting up your own simple webserver

  • MicroPython

    MicroPython - a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems

  • just executing commands directly in Micropython via the BLE UART REPL

  • blynk-library

    Blynk library for IoT boards. Works with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Particle, ARM Mbed, etc.

  • https://blynk.io/ (you can find an example that uses their legacy API in one of my releases)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
