LIFX-Sharp

.NET API for the controlling LIFX bulbs

LifxLib is a library containing classes representing Bulbs, PAN controllers, Communication and Messages sent from and to a physical LIFX bulb. The communication is done solely via UDP.

Since the API is not available yet, I have relied on magicmonkeys terrific LIFX project (https://github.com/magicmonkey/lifxjs) which has a great documentation from observations made of network traffic.

Included is a test application showing how to use the lib to:

  • Discover PAN controllers/bulbs
  • Get/Set Power state
  • Get/Set Label
  • Get/Set Color parameters

Supported .Net versions

This library has been tested on

  • .Net Micro Framework 4.3
  • .Net Framework 4.5

Pending testing for

  • .Net Compact Framework

Usage

Discovery of bulb:

  LifxCommunicator.Instance.Initialize();

  List<LifxPanController> panController = LifxCommunicator.Instance.Discover();
  LifxBulb mBulb = new LifxBulb(panController[0]);

Get power state:

  LifxPowerState powerState = mBulb.GetPowerState();

Set power state:

  mBulb.SetPowerState(LifxPowerState.On);

Set Color:

  UInt16 kelvinValue = 1000;
  UInt32 fadeTimeMilliseconds = 2000;
  mBulb.SetColor(new LifxColor(Color.Red, kelvinValue), fadeTimeMilliseconds);

Etc...
