@popper Looks really nice dude! How to you like the Kessil vs Radion?
Radion can pinpoint different corals color. If you want more red, you can dial it in to make that red coral more red while other colors won't look as nice. It has too many features that I don't care. It is fantastic if you want a specific color to pop.

Kessil is simpler, blue/intensity and love the shimmer reflection on the ceiling.
There isn't a Kessil app for Android

There's a Kessil app for Android, you just have to be on your home network to make changes and have the WiFi dongle (although it looks like you have the ap9x which doesn't need it). It sometimes forgets your light too and you have to reconnect it.
