I realized that light strip I installed some time ago used an ESP8266 microcontroller, so instead of buying and waiting for a new Raspberry Pi for a project, I tried to use that instead. I got MicroPython running on it, and wow, this thing is cool! I was able to connect to the internet, and even run a server on it. Using the GPIO pins to control an LED was simple. Setting up a button was slightly more work since there wasn't a helper class, but fairly easy in the end.
