Dan over on trandi.wordpress.com has completed an amazing bit of IKEA Hacking. He built a custom bluetooth interface inside an IKEA SPOKA light and then wrote an android app that lets him control the colors of the SPOKA remotely from his android phone.
Just imagine having several of them around a room all color changing in sync either manually or controlled by an automated bit of software on the phone that syncs it to music etc? Very cool indeed. Dan posted the video above as well as providing a VERY in depth article complete with schematics, code etc that show exactly how he did it. Our hat is officially doffed to you Dan – amazing work!

P.S. Stay tuned for an upcoming contest from Comfort Works - maybe YOU’LL get in the market for a new slipcover!

This weekend (January 14th, 15th and 16th), eat as much as you want in the IKEA restaurant, and use your receipt as a coupon off your $100 minimum purchase of IKEA goods at the register!
This is my favorite type of IKEA sale as I get to nom on some yummy meatballs, have a huge slice of DAIM cake and IKEA pays for me to do it! Win-win!
