Hello  
Hello! Now I have a Philips TV with a built-in ambilight in a Hue bridge bundle, which is synchronized with Zigbee controllers with an RGBCCT strip. The strip is a little behind the TV colors (a delay of about 0.5 s). If I use Athom on an ESP8266 and DIYHUE (Rasberry Pi 3B) instead of Zigbee controllers, will I achieve a delay similar to the original Hue devices? Or what devices should I use to achieve minimal delay? Is Wi-Fi faster than Zigbee?

Can I purchase an athom rgbcct controller based on ESP8285H16 (ESP8266 with 2MB memory) for my rgbcct tape?
