Hi all,
I need some thoughts on this project.
As part of my Home Automation project I want to put some RGB leds in the bedroom. Since I already have a Pi that uses RF to control wireless switches (necessary python scripts found on the interwebz) I was thinking: maybe I can also control the RGB leds with the same Pi, making it easy to control everything from one (mobile accessable) webserver.
There are IR and RF controllers available and my preference goes to RF (because it would be possible to control it from another room), but how can I reverse engineer this? Or how could I find the 'codes' that the controllers broadcasts and turn it into a Python script?
I still need to buy the led strip, so if the RF method would be too complicated for me, I can always fall back to IR which is quite easy to 'clone'.
If anyone has experience with hacking RGB led strip controllers, I'm all ears!
