We started this project about 6 months ago with the desire to turn it into a product. Because we are both hobbyists as well as professional engineers, we wanted this to be something the community can participate in. Right now we have the hardware mostly done. There is still a bunch of verification testing and QC before we want to start building the first small production run. There are to many products that don't provide accurate specifications and we don't want to be one of them. Right now we are designing test equipment so we can give all the light specifications for all the different color and power combinations.

The software is still lacking but still want to get the light to people. It is build around a ESP8266 so it can be adapted to a few platforms such as adafruit.io, openhab, or a home-brew automation network. We also want feedback that can be put into any hardware changes and guide the software development.

Many companies started in a garage, we decided to start in a closet.
