LIFX Plugin

The LIFX plugin drives LIFX WiFi bulbs and SuperColour / pixel fixtures (Tube, Beam, strips, tiles) over the LIFX LAN protocol — no cloud account needed, the lights only have to be on the same network.

The plugin is installed from the plugin registry — see Plugins for how to install, update, and manage plugins.

What It Adds

  • A LIFX output type with single-zone color protocols (RGB, RGB+CT, RGBW, RGBW+CT, each in 8- or 16-bit) and a Pixel protocol that drives every zone of a multizone device individually, in the same eight layouts via the mapping’s Color mode field.
  • A Discover button on the output that finds the lights (and their zone counts).
  • A LIFX — Color Bulb fixture profile whose personalities match the protocols.

Updates stream at up to 20 per second per light with a short device-side fade so effects look smooth. See Output Config for setup.
