The lantern project is an ESP-based addressable RGB LED strip controller. It consists of two ESPs.
ESP32 serves as a remote, and ESP8266 is the receiver that drives the addressable RGB LED strip.
The Lantern project offers its users 32 different modes, 14 lock screens, and a basic level of security (at least it prevents separate transmitter-receiver pairs from interfering with one another).
