LED Wifi Magic UFO

[Peter]

Hello machiners,
I have come across a RGB LED controller which is operable by wifi through an app. It is called LED Wifi Magic UFO, here is a link to the android app. Did anyone try to integrate this before?
Thank you.

Have you considered using Bluetooth RGB LED lamps instead? They are cheap and much easier to work with.

We were asked if we can integrate this particular device, because it is already installed by another company. Using BT controller might be interesting, but considering the effective range it is quite limited, isn't it?

[admin]

Yes, BLE range is limited, usually within a single room.

As for this device the only solution is to reverse-engineer the protocol if nobody else has done this before. You can run packet capture on rooted Android devices to see what's going on, hopefully they have some simple HTTP API.

OK, we will start working on this tomorrow, hopefully it will be easy. I will post results in forum afterwards.
