Control LED #38

Thank you for the great project. The design of the device is very clean and I think about to use it as an cheap status light for home automation like homeassistant. Ist it possible to control the LED colors without the particle-sensor - only to switch the colors with mqtt? Best regards Daniel

In theory, when we dump the transmission pin, but why, this is against the idea of the project.

I don't want to ask for anything against the idea of the project. I was looking for cheap and easy to use visualistaion devices. The Vindriktning is available in local stores and looks nice. Why not use it as an Reminder like - red light -> you got an email oder the laundry is finished and maybe blink-codes and so on. I know, a simple rgb-LED on an esp8266 is an option, but so you need a case and led-diffusor-panel and so on. I hope i could figure out my intention.

Hm, at first thoughts, you would need to proxy the sensor and sent in your own particle data. Driving the LED itself could work too, but I have no spare one to have fun with. Maybe check the LED, and it's power with an Oscilloscope.
