I just discover this very cheap RGB LED Controller on ebay:

Does anyone already buy and try it?

Cheap RGB LED Strip Controller - does it work?
-
Not sure, if anyone has tried this one yet… Note, however, these cheap LED Controllers are a likely to cause problems or have some limitations. See http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/100/device-not-recommended-led-stripe-rf-dimmer for example.
If you are willing to spend around 20-25 Euros you’re are porbaby better off with a Wifi 370 controller (if you don’ need a pocket sender - with wifi370 you can use your smartphone instead)

i can confirm the wifi370 controller works nice with pimatic and its own app. I got two of them running in my room

Does these wifi370 controllers require an ad-hoc network or could they be included in my existing W-LAN? That would be necessary, because my Pi is only attached via LAN.

Yes, it can be included into your existing W-LAN.

Yeah you can use the wifi370 controllers in both modes. It comes in Access Point Mode so you can log into it and type in your wifi key phrase.
