 Before writing the program above, ChatGPT gave me an example program to run on Linux as an OPC server. I took that code, tested it with Xlights,  and then modified it for the NodeMCU.
 There’s a good article about OPC here:
 http://openpixelcontrol.org and it will explain the protocol.

 The Arduino script gave me the IP address, but you can also check your router for the IP address (dhcp).
-NOTE: The message data size is 12, but I only configured 2 models, so I’m only sending 6 bytes in the message (see OPC protocol above)

 In Xlights, I start the channel with a value of ‘1’ using the fade tool with a color of RED. This instructs the code to run the LED command to power on the floodlights
 I end with a value of ‘1’ for color blue, which instructs the code to send an “off” command to the floodlights.

 I created these tamponish looking devices to transmit to the RGB floodlights. I split the signal in two to control two flood lights (and that way, they’ll always be synched).
