Hi there...I came across your project while I was looking for some other RGB stuff and man it's really great. I was curious if you are planning on adding support for RGBW leds ? Thanks

Hi, yes I plan to add RGBW support as part of the big recode I'm doing at the moment (here). However, this may take some time.

In the meantime, if you are using an Arduino or ESP, you can have the white channel automatically calculated on the receiver side. I have created an example code that receives serial data from RemoteLight and calculates the white channel and outputs it using FastLED. If you use an ESP I recommend WLED. It supports automatic white channel calculation, even when receiving data via E1.31 or Art-Net.

If you use a raspberry pi you have to wait though...
