I bought two to play with. Very impressed so far!

I found out just how lightweight MQTT is compared to HTTP.

I first used PH to send continuous HTTP data for color changes and had to use significant delays to not get ahead of the RGBW2.

Then I set up Mosquitto as the MQTT server and wrote a batch file to just blast out color changes using mosquitto_pub. No problems keeping up!
