Lifx Ceiling Light

[clever moon]

Looking at getting some Lifx Ceiling Lights. What are the controls for it in HA?

On, off, effect ( morph, flame and sky)

And brightness/color

[clever moon]

Awesome. Thank you.

Pleasure is mine!

I also created https://github.com/Djelibeybi/hass-lifx-ceiling which creates separate entities for the uplight component and downlight component. It piggybacks off the core LIFX integration (of which I'm a codeowner) so it doesn't create any more load on the network while running.

Any chances of seeing this integrated within the official LIFX integration?

I have 2 Lifx 15 inches but am reluctant to getting any more!

Also, have you seen this : https://photons.delfick.com

Perhaps the functions of the integration could be pushed even further

I’m looking at getting four of them and they are close together.

Yes, I'm a contributor to Photons. 🙂

I'm not planning on adding this support while the core integration still uses aiolifx as the underlying library. I've created a new library that I'm planning on replacing it with, but I want to get it operational in another project before bringing it to Home Assistant. I have a new version of the core integration that uses the library that has support for this and a bunch of other stuff too

If you're interested, the new library is here: https://github.com/Djelibeybi/lifx-async and it uses https://github.com/Djelibeybi/lifx-emulator during CI to ensure that it follows the LIFX protocol. I'm currently working on a PR to add it to the LedFx project to drive their LIFX intgration both because I love LedFx and want it to work on more of my LIFX devices and also so that it gets some real-world testing before being submitted to Home Assistant: https://github.com/LedFx/LedFx/pull/1671

They are STUPIDLY bright, btw. I have four of them and honestly just one is fine for even my largest room. The only time I can imagine needing more than one is in a commercial/office envrironment.

I second this, they beat 3-4 Philips hue in a room easely
