RGB Controller


i think have different twist on popular topic.

i have rgb controller light switches (http://www.ledenet.com/rgbw-led-controller/424-rgbw-rgbww-led-controller.html) have no trouble getting work, control these same led lights via wifi using android device. person entering room can control using switch, lights can controlled remotely.

i think need pass through arduino. if light switch sends signal, arduino software commands output accordingly, , if receives command via wifi, command output according demand.

do have right idea how can done?

there doesn't appear wired control inputs on controller, so how propose input instructions it?
an arduino cannot (directly) handle amount of current. 4a @ 12v =48watts ~500 times greater can safely arduino pin (20ma @ 5v = 100mw). how propose control amount of current?
how propose stop instructions arduino , instructions controller interfering 1 another? e.g. if arduino sends instruction switch lights off and, @ same time, controller sends instruction to switch lights on, 1 'wins'?
also, if the controller has switched lights on, how the arduino switch them off , vice versa?
try drawing circuit plain old switches, 2 batteries (one marked arduino, other marked controller) , 1 bulb see if can done. don't think can.
once you've sorted lot out, , should start think linking android through wifi.
