I have made my own RGB wifi enabled light using a ESP2866 and I was wondering if there is a way to configure a light using HTTP rather than MQTT or the like?
Currently I have it set up so it receives GET parameters to determine the colors and brightness e.g. “http://light.whatever/?r=255&g=255&b=255”
I don’t believe there is a component for what I am looking for but I thought I would ask first, if there isn’t one I will try my hand at making a new one.
Already tried RESTful commands with variables for your rgb?
cool, how?
I can make it work with REST and I could make it just into a switch for off and on but I don’t know how I would mix the RGB and make it to appear like a normal RGB light switch
Its pretty simple I have a node mcu chip like this one: https://statics3.seeedstudio.com/images/113990105%201.jpg
And used a 12 LED WS2812B like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/kFkAAOSwTA9X2wUT/s-l300.jpg
Then the webserver is just written in the arduino IDE and flashed over
are you using a casing?
Without a colorpicker you could use three input-sliders for r,g,b and maybe one for brightness:
take a look at the examples…
I used some semi transparent PVC pipe just cut in half

Thanks Vehsen I will give it a look 
Since you use a NodeMCU, you’d be much better off using mqtt:
It’s already integrated as an RGB light and if you haven’t setup an mqtt broker yet, home-assistant comes with an embedded one that I use without problem for my mqtt enabled light
Cheers Tou, I will check that out and see about flashing it to the chip
I had a look at the repo you linked, I forked it and have made a new implementation that is compatible with all NeoPixels and other addressable led strips. The board is a nodemcu. Here is the repo, not sure if there is anywhere else I can add this to help people out
Very nice, thanks for sharing your adaptation 
Maybe you could also extend the documentation from mqtt_json to point to your repository (or few people will be able to find it/be aware it exist).
Thanks for the advice I have made an alteration to the documentation now and made a pull request against the current branch
Already merged and available: MQTT JSON Light
I love how fast everything is merged / published in HASS project 
I was surprised at how quick it was! Again, thanks for the help Touliloup
want to test SK6812-RGB led strip, but here have some data I can’t know how to use, maybe her e have someone can help me.
Hey Billy,
On the repo I have created I use the FastLED library found here: FastLED,
There are a couple of open issues on the FastLED repo, it looks like you can use the SK6812-RGB strip as its a clone of the WS2812 so you can just use WS2812 in the config rather than SK6812. Check out this issue on github for reference 
Something I forgot to mention though, it will not work with the RGBW sets of SK6812 they only work with the RGB versions for now
