Great project you have here, when I saw all those cool effects that you have in your code I got and idea. What about if you would connect a microphone to the esp8266 which would then listen to beats and the leds on the ws2812 would pulsate with the sound. Maybe like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Urj9ugsV58 (but this one is a bit too fast flashing for my taste :) ) That would be really cool.

Otherwise good job. So via the MQTT it is probably possible to tie into Openhab for example and tie specific colours to specific actions?

This idea is in the works. Not implemented yet, u may have seen the eq function.....

What was stopping me is that I need the analogue in to work so I can use the msgeq7. I have this chip working on an arduino (which I could attach to a digital in) but my plan was to have it go via the adc. This is a bit unstable at the moment. Or has been!

You can have audio effects go via udp using pixel controller, or via dmx. So using a computer to output the sound. This is actually more desirable as U can control loads of them! Not just one! And it does work. This is another reason why I stopped developing a hardware solution.

And yes, if openhab allows u to send ur own mqtt messages. I control 3 of them in my house using fhem.

Nice, so there still is some hope for this to be implemented in the future?

Are you controlling the leds through your browser via your phone, or do you have a special app?
