A Python library to control and monitor LIFX bulbs. Also provides a workaround for users having issues with controlling LIFX bulbs on their network. GitHub: https://github.com/derkarnold/pylifx PyPi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylifx Originally written to allow the LIFX bulb to work in non-standard networks, but it is growing to be much more. Contributors: Deryck Arnold, Michael Farrell (micolous) Huge thanks to Kevin Bowman(magicmonkey) and others for the lifxjs project on GitHub: https://github.com/magicmonkey/lifxjs/ Without their work on the lifxjs project, this one would not have been possible. Current features: * Allows the LIFX bulb smartphone app to work by "faking" a bulb and relaying commands to the real one (see examples/bridge.py). * Gives the ability to display the contents of LIFX messages coming through. ** Huge thanks to magicmonkey and the lifxjs project for their hard work on working out the LIFX protocol. * The ability to run "scenes" - provide a dictionary of times and colours and the library will do the rest (see examples/sunrise.py). * Using multiple bulbs behind a single PAN gateway. Upcoming features: * Auto-discovery of bulbs (yes, should have been there already). How to install: * Get Python (tested with 2.7, others may work). I use the Python(x, y) distribution. * Ensure you have the Python setuptools. * Run "easy_install pylifx" from a command prompt or terminal. * You're done. Two common issues with installing: * Linux users - ensure you have python-dev installed (for the netifaces package). * Windows users - install the pre-built binaries for your python distribution using the links in the following URL: http://alastairs-place.net/projects/netifaces/ (The section is just above the start of the Changelog section).
