Dear... Great peace of work!!!!!!

My problem, what Hardware do i need. Can i switch a regular white or rgb ledstrip to, when i am fine to now that this not the same color like HUE There are more esp8266 version will this work on all? And perhaps you have other idea's what i can buy in China...

All WS2812B based LEDs should work, and all ESP modules (for experimenting I can recommend the NodeMCU 1.0 board and for permanent installation the ESP-12E if you like to solder).

Thanks for the fast support...!! [ Now i can order in China ] And my question abbot the regular rgb or white led? Are they switching from the hue bridge or not, do you think? I will give it a try, when you think it is possible..[ without warranty! ] I would be too crazy that I can switch an LED via the hue bridge, [ waterproof rgb led for in the garden!!] :+1: :-)

Have you ever seen a WS2812B based white LED? I haven't...

By the way, my code emulates the Bridge. So you don't need a Bridge. The app talks to the ESP directly without the need for a Bridge.

sorry for my stupidity... Only can the code not talk with the/a bridge? That would give more options for me.

Thanks for your patience

No, this code is the Bridge. (Talking to the bridge is what the existing client apps do.)
