I reverse engineered RF controlled strip lights so that they can be controlled over WiFi with a browser or/and integrated with IOT device controllers via API
- compile and load onto nodeMCU or just load binary firmware onto MCU
- wire up 433Mhz transmitter and motion sensor(optional), see CONNECTIONS below
- when first boot occurs, it will create an open access point "light_controller"
- connect to AP and navigate to
http://192.168.10.1/ - scroll down to "Change Wifi Access Point" and click "Wifi Setup"
- input your wifi credentials and submit
- it will then try connect to the wifi AP you provided
- if successful, you can then connnect to it via
http://light_controller.local/on your wifi network - if not successful, the open access point will reopen.
- on main page you can click the buttons to send different signals to RF controlled light strips
- web GUI and click buttons: http://light_controller.local/
- API: http://light_controller.local/api0?color=10
- GUI API: http://light_controller.local/changeColor?color=10
NOTE: color/signal values range from 0 to 10
0 => white, 1 => red, 2 => green, 3 => blue, 4 => orange,
5 => yellow, 6 => brighter, 7 => darker, 8 => jump3, 9 => jump7,
10 => on/off
