Compatibility with new color effects strands #28

Does anyone know if this library works with the color effects strands that are available today. It doesn't seem like the g35 sets are still available

I have no idea - but I would be very interested. Someone reported that the GE wifi/bluetooth are not compatible - but these might be. Would be great if they are. What does the controller look like?

I'd be surprised if they were compatible with this library. The G35 used a timing-dependent protocol that doesn't resemble any protocol used by today's mass-produced RGB LEDs (ws2812, apa102, etc.), and it doesn't appear that it ever caught on as a de facto standard.

But if anyone has the hardware that @rconn01 linked to and wants to try it, I'd be happy to be proven wrong!
