Hacking on a client for the lifx light bulb, this is based on the work already done in the lifxjs and go-lifx.
The aim of this project is to keep things simple and just provide a very thin API to the lifx bulbs with a view to focusing on packet decoding, coordination and discovery.
Note: This library works with 2.x firmware!
Below is a simple example illustrating how to observe discovery and changes, as well as control of bulbs.
package main
import (
"log"
"os"
"time"
"gopkg.in/wolfeidau/lifx.v1"
)
func main() {
c := lifx.NewClient()
err := c.StartDiscovery()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Woops %s", err)
}
go func() {
sub := c.Subscribe()
for {
event := <-sub.Events
switch event := event.(type) {
case *lifx.Gateway:
log.Printf("Gateway Update %v", event)
case *lifx.Bulb:
log.Printf("Bulb Update %v", event.GetState())
case *lifx.LightSensorState:
log.Printf("Light Sensor Update %s %f", event.GetLifxAddress(), event.Lux)
default:
log.Printf("Event %v", event)
}
}
}()
log.Printf("LightsOn")
c.LightsOn()
time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
for _, bulb := range c.GetBulbs() {
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
// transition to a dull purple
c.LightColour(bulb, 0xcc15, 0xffff, 0x1f4, 0, 0x0513)
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
// transition to a bright white
c.LightColour(bulb, 0, 0, 0x8000, 0x0af0, 0x0513)
}
}This is currently very early release, everything can and will change.
