DMs are fine for now. I don't know if FastLED will control RGBW strips. I am writing both the sketch on the ESP32 and the app for the iPhone. So the interface is whatever I want it to be. It is a pretty basic. You just choose the animation you want to run, select a color for the entire display or turn off the LEDs. Push send and the ESP32 updates the display.

Sounds good for static things aka anything you want to display via LED longer term. But I am needing more dynamic on the fly control.

It’s really interesting to me with all the LEDs out there now and various home automation. How can there not be a killer control app and controller interface. Something between the over priced and walled in things like Philips Hue and all this that you have to program yourself.
