Multiple individual LED Stripes - Bluetooth LE - communication/starting via app

Hi out there,

our project:
A little show with artistic amateurs, using led-stripes in a show.

Planned are 14 individual led stripes (APA102; 5V; 30Leds/meter; up to 80 Leds),
each Stripe could be programmed different.
They must start together, best would be: when the music starts :slight_smile:

We would like to use bluetooth LE, because for the training it would be great to control also just one or two stripes over a smartphone. Also random libraries could then be played to random music like a discolight or you can turn just simple colours on.

It is quite difficult to find up to date informations about communicating with some bluetooth LE boards at the same time over a mobile phone.

Questions:

  1. is it possible in general?
  2. which board we should use? As small as possible and may be with integrated bluetooth? (one of adafruit or the lightblue bean board, or different?)
  3. which libraries (fastLED) and app we should use?
  4. what limitations we have?
  5. Are there similar projects you know?
