Looks very cool. MQTT support along with REST built-in. No reprogramming or cloud needed!

Good news! Cloud control of lights is necessary ridiculous concept.TonyNo said:Absolutely. I've been playing with them all day. Without authentication set up, setting a color is as simple as...
http://deviceIP/color/0?red=255&green=127&blue=0&white=0
...via REST.

Do they offer any feedback or status reporting (other than the usual http 200 confirmation )?
Are you able to mix white and RGB to make pastels?
How fast can multiple strings be activated on/off? I have 16 devices in one room (some bulbs, some strings) and the popcorn effect can be the worst looking. I have it down to less than 0.5 seconds to turn all on/off but the initial socket connect time gets int multiple seconds then.
I did a lot of experimenting with MiLight, LEDenet controllers and now, some China cloned MagicHome bulbs for under $10 each..TonyNo said:Re: Feedback, the response is the 200 and a status string. Example:
{"ison":true,"mode":"color","red":127,"green":0,"blue":0,"white":0,"gain":2,"effect":0,"power":0.00,"overpower":false}
No restrictions on white and color outputs being on at the same time. Obviously, consider the power dissipation of the device you are driving.
I only have two modules to play with, but it seems fairly quick. I can imagine a ripple-effect for 16, though, as it's not instant. Note that if you send commands too quickly, the lights don't change, but the status comes back indicating no change.
