> Because of it's open architecture and APIs it's easy to build new clients for different platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Universal Apps, Siri/Cortana integration, ...).
## The Hardware
- A NodeMCU development board, based on the ESP8266 ESP-12E, (that you can get for under 5 USD from eBay). A standalone ESP8266 or a Adafruit Huzzah should work too.

- A WS2811 or WS2812 led strip that you can get in many sizes and forms. I'm using a ring of 12 leds. When you use more than about 15-20 leds you may have to use a dedicated 5V power source.
- Power via USB
