ESP8266 WiFi LED dimmer Part 1 of X: The setup
For a while now I’ve been working on building my own network controlled LED dimmer. I have sampeled some commercially available remotely controllable LED dimmers (DX.com models, AppLamp, Fibaro Z-wave, etc.) but all either lacked some fuctions or where WAY too expensive to rollout house wide. So, I decided to construct my own version! In … Continue reading ESP8266 WiFi LED dimmer Part 1 of X: The setup
