Im ordering a couple of these to have a play with. Someone somewhere posted they have an esp8266 in them so might be able to replace their dire software with something automatable.

LED strip light

Also there is this one which looks interesting, 5 outputs. I think I already ordered one of these and it got put into a box when I was doing a cleanup so not reordering till I have had a sort out of things I am meaning to finish off.

WiFi RGB LED light

Anyone else done anything fun with these cheap wifi modules?

You re-flashed it to do anything else? I have been playing with the fake wemo script on my esp8266 boards and not having much luck. The hue emulator is even worse and just seems to crash with a stack dump out serial as soon as anything trys to interact with it.

No... never had the time nor inclination. I do have a few actual ESP8266s. I have them controlling 2812 RGB LEDs. There's code around somewhere to do it via WiFi.
