Connect iPhone/iPad direct to WiFi Bridge Receiver: Yes (WiFi adhoc AP mode)
Connect WiFi Bridge Receiver to LAN: Yes (WiFi infrastructure STA mode) Wifi Bridge Router Web Config: http://10.10.100.254/home.html Username: admin Password: admin
IP Address: 10.10.100.254 (editable)
Port: 8899 (editable)
TCP/IP Mode: UDP (udp is what online games use, it is very fast and has the lowest latency)
If the app doesn't allow you to scan and find the SSID for your home network, you can use the Web User Interface to configure Wifi Bridge 3.0 STA settings on http://10.10.100.255/home.html with the username:admin password:admin The IP Address is now assigned automatically using DHCP. You can find the current IP address of your wifi bridge in your routers DHCP table with the same MAC address as displayed on the LimitlessLED App 3.0 first network scan screen. Or you can broadcast UDP command packets to all wifi bridges on your local network, by changing the last digit in the IP address to 255, i.e. 10.1.1.255
The Port Number most importantly has changed from 50000 to 8899
change from "Long" to "Integer"

https://github.com/brandon-dacrib/cloverleaf/blob/master/app/modules/limitlessled-rgb.rb Now you can control your LimitlessLED lights on Android using AutoVoice and Tasker/Locale. LimitlessLED LightShow made in Perl programming language by Prof. Matt Carter from Bond University
https://github.com/hash-bang/Lightshow
provides a simple command line program to command the lighting system as well as also supports easy to program lighting macros - fake fire place lighting, time-of-day settings etc.
Matt is also working on an XBMC/BoxEE plugin for media centers so that you can control the lights from your TV. Great work Matt, look forward to this one. Jon Benson from Australia has built this great Tasker app. Tasker stays in memory when launched once, so it displays almost instantly.
The current app (which simply allows sending UDP packets by acting as a plugin for Tasker/Locale) is free and will remain so. Here is the Github webpage:
http://hastarin.github.io/android-udpsender/ and here is the Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hastarin.android.udpsender To give you an idea of how it can be used, Jon has set this up so far...
-
Gesture control via my launcher (Nova) to turn all lights on/off/full bright/night mode and dim/brighten lights.
-
Using the Scene shown above I can turn all/individual zones on/off and control bright/dim/warm/cool.
-
NOTE: A swipe up/down in the colored square controls a bright/dim ramp and left/right for warm/cool.
-
An NFC tag on my bed that when tapped will turn the lights off, or keep some in night mode if I have guests.
-
When my phone connects to the Wi-Fi, and it's between sunrise and sunset, my entry hall light is turned on.
