SMS controlled NeoPixels #SMS #NeoPixels @biglesp

Les Pounder has another terrific build using a Raspberry Pi – controlling multicolored NeoPixel LEDs via SMS (text messages).

If you have read my blog for a bit, you will know that I love NeoPixels and I love hacking with them. So when I learnt about Nexmo, a service that offers SMS and voice telephony over the web, I wondered how I could use it with my favourite hack.

The project uses the Nexmo API and Node-RED to read an incoming SMS and extract either the name of a predetermined color, or an RGB color value. This is then passed to a node which will control the NeoPixels.

See the whole project article here. Great work Les!
