(first sorry for my bad english)
I'm playing around with the ESP since a month and I really love it!
But now I want to go a step further and connect the ESP to Openhab and control lights , RGB-LEDs.. and so on.
So my Question: is there a easy (for dummies) way to connect the esp to openhab and send special commands (RGB-Color for example).
Thanks a lot!

If it is anything like data.sparkfun or Ubidots or Thingspeak then there are programs in the Wiki that will steer you

Get you modules here:
