These LEDs are driven by a serial bitstream using bit width encoding (not quite Manchester but you will get the idea from this)
This is known as PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) in TV remote IR protocol land

I could do that, but do you know what a serious mission it is to get the items working?
No software support, no firmware, and the existing installed firmware is rubbish..
