I was looking at “The Smart Room Controller (formerly SmartKitchen) Originally published 9/10/2013 by @dome” as a start point. @dome developed an RGB sketch that will also use a simple IR RGB Remote to change the colors and respond to different events.
As soon as the Arduino Shields become available I will try my hand at interfacing what I have with ST. right now everything is on the arduino in ALPHA stage using serial commands from a second arduino to mimic the ST Shield.
I have not tackled the groovy code yet.
