Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and techniques for providing special effects wirelessly using a device plugged into a standard electrical outlet are provided. Example embodiments provide an apparatus and associated software applications for remote and live control of special effects (hereinafter a “Remote Special Effects System,” or “RSES”) using special effect (SE) devices such as individually addressable LEDs, LED strips, fog and smoke machines, and the like. The example RSES described herein comprises one or more SE controller devices that each plug into a standard electrical outlet and are each connected to one or more SE devices. Each SE controller is wirelessly connected to the Internet (or other wide area network) so that it can respond to DMX (or other protocol) commands sent by a remote application by issuing corresponding commands specific to the connected SE device to cause synchronized special effects to occur to an ad-hoc created zone of SE controllers.
