Hey folks - just got my visualight and have been having fun with it (though I found that the wifi shield was initially a bit loose and had come disconnected).
I'm curious: Are there plans to produce a web-based API to control it? I know you can hack the arduino itself, but I'd love a way that it can remain standalone and leverage the wifi connection to your server for control from a potentially-distant computer. I started reverse-engineering the Websockets protocol that the web UI at visualight.org/myvisualight uses, but figured I'd ask in case there was a simpler way.
Thanks!
