Hack a RGB LED Strip and Control Its Color Over Wi-Fi [Video]

RGB LED lights are a great way to accent your home and add a little color, but color control usually has to be done from the light itself. If you want to control those colors over Wi-Fi, OpenPicus has put together a guide using their Flyport Wi-Fi microcontroller.

The process itself requires a little soldering, and uses a set of IKEA light strips with the FlyPort Wi-Fi. After the system is built, you install a pre-made webserver, and you're good to go. It looks a little complicated to get going, but once it's done you can set your mood lighting from nearly anywhere in the house.
