After a few days of delay, I finally got the time to do the code for the ESP8266, and now have it functioning on a basic level. I currently have it set so that the ESP8266 polls my webserver every 10 seconds, a bit on the long side, I could of course poll it every second or so, but I didn't want my server log spammed with requests. If any of you out there know of a better way than having the ESP8266 poll, I'm open to suggestions.

I'll post both the web server files, and the ESP8266 Arduino ino file to the project page On the web server side of things, you will need to be sure that php functionality is enabled. Also, be sure to edit the ESP8266 Arduino file to set the IP address of your server and set your wifi credentials.

A short video of it below (I may post a video of it running with bubbles, if I get the time to set it up outdoors):
