ConnectedByTCP Flood Lights

I just received a bunch of wireless controlled floodlights from HomeDepot.  Just search though HD's site with "Connected TCP" for product info.   I got the starter kit with 2 A19 bulbs and a gateway plus I ordered 6 floods.  They work great although I wouldn't really describe their light color as soft white.  We'll see if I get used to it.   The A19 bulbs however look really great.

 

You can control them using iOS, android or any web browser.  Doing some very preliminary research shows that the underlying tech is made by GreenWave Reality using NXP's JenNet-IP's IPv6 stack.

 

All in all remarkably cheap solution for retro fitting scene control with individual light granularity.

 

The only bummer is that they don't have a wall switch yet.  They have a remote (which I am sure is always going to be lost) and as I said you can use the iPhone etc., but I am afraid it may be cumbersome for non-tech savvy folks.  

 

We (as in anyone but me :)) need to come up with a MSP430 based touch pad wall switch to control this baby.

 

Does anyone have any experience with NXP JenNet-IP?
