Electronic – arduino – Control Simple RGB LED Light Strip With ESP-01 Using Homebridge

What I am trying to do is control a simple 2m 5050 RGB Led Light Strip though a ESP-01 that receives http requests through Homebridge. I am doing this through the better-http-rgb Homebridge plugin and using the ESP-01 as the controller and server. The ESP-01 successfully gets the request from the Home app to turn the lights on or off or change the colour but doesn't actually change the lights. When I turn the lights off from the Home app I see the the RGB light strip glow faintly more brighter and when I turn them on from the Home app the glow faintly dimmer. I have also tried changing the colour of the light strip with an Arduino Nano I had and it worked. Therefore I assume there is something wrong with my code or the ESP-01.

Here is my ESP-01 code (programmed in Arduino IDE):

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))

#define redPin 0 //GPIO_0 - Red channel
#define grnPin 2 //GPIO_2 - Green channel
#define bluPin 3 //GPIO_3/RXD - Blue channel

WiFiServer server(80); //Set server port

String readString;           //String to hold incoming request
String hexString = "000000"; //Define inititial color here (hex value)

int state;

int r;
int g;
int b;

float R;
float G;
float B;

int x;
int V;

///// WiFi SETTINGS - Replace with your values /////////////////
const char* ssid = "ssid";
const char* password = "password";
IPAddress ip(10,1,1,198);      // set a fixed IP
IPAddress gateway(10,1,1,1);  // Your router IP
IPAddress subnet(255,255,255,0); // Subnet mask
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void WiFiStart() {
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(100);
    Serial.print("_");
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Done");
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.println("");

  server.begin();                    
}

void allOff() {
  state = 0;
  analogWrite(redPin, 0);
  analogWrite(grnPin, 0);
  analogWrite(bluPin, 0);
}

//Write requested hex-color to the pins (10bit pwm)
void setHex() {
  state = 1;
  long number = (long) strtol( &hexString[0], NULL, 16);
  r = number >> 16;
  g = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
  b = number & 0xFF;
  r = map(r, 0, 255, 0, 1023);  //added for 10bit pwm
  g = map(g, 0, 255, 0, 1023);  //added for 10bit pwm
  b = map(b, 0, 255, 0, 1023);  //added for 10bit pwm
  analogWrite(redPin, (r));
  analogWrite(grnPin, (g));
  analogWrite(bluPin, (b));
}

//Compute current brightness value
void getV() {
  R = roundf(r/10.23);  //for 10bit pwm, was (r/2.55);
  G = roundf(g/10.23);  //for 10bit pwm, was (g/2.55);
  B = roundf(b/10.23);  //for 10bit pwm, was (b/2.55);
  x = max(R,G);
  V = max(x, B);
}

//For serial debugging only
void showValues() {
  Serial.print("Status on/off: ");
  Serial.println(state);
  Serial.print("RGB color: ");
  Serial.print(r);
