Feature Request: LIFX Integration (LIFX API Just Released)

LIFX just announced the release of their API which can be found at https://github.com/lifx

Quoted from http://blog.lifx.co

Hi Developers,

After much anticipation and many sleepless nights, we are excited to announce the release of the official LIFX API.

You can come grab the API here on Github - https://github.com/lifx

With multiple SDKs for your platform of choice, let the LIFX API look after the heavy lifting whilst you focus on building innovative features that enhance your everyday life with LIFX.

Experiment with colour and lighting sequences
Control individual, groups or all your LIFX bulbs at once
Integrate your LIFX with online services, automation systems or third-party protocols
Get started with platform support for iOS, Android and Ruby
The LIFX API includes some real-world examples such as:

Turn off all lights
Turn on the light named “Hallway”
Turn on all lights that are tagged “Kitchen”
Set every light to a random colour
Change the colour of a light based on the build status of a project on Travis
Turns a light off after X seconds of it being detected turned on
Use divide-and-conquer search algorithm to identify a light visually
We’ve been overwhelmed by the amazing ideas that have been suggested by our community and we are excited to now provide an open platform for these ideas to come to life.

Enjoy and Git started!

Is there anyone able and willing to integrate with Indigo? I would be willing to donate to the cause.

Matt/Jay,
I know there is another section "Help wanted and bounties" but I wasn't exactly sure the most appropriate place for this post.

Thanks,
~Lou

Hi Lou,
I was just pulled down the zip file to look at it. I'd also pitch in on a donation to get these integrated in to Indigo.

Actually, the Hardware Support Inquiries and Requests forum, which is a subform in Feature Requests, is the appropriate spot for this request (I've moved it).

Thanks for getting the post in the right spot Jay!

+1 Can't wait till someone with greater geek credentials than mine makes LIFX talk to indigo!

I also +1 this request for a LIFX plugin! It seems like a great more open alternative to the Philips Hue that does not require a base station.

I have released a LIFX Controller plugin that is available as an alpha test version (see link in my signature)

Oops!!

I'd recommend updating your LIFX bulb firmware sooner rather than later. It's one thing to lose control of your lights, but an entirely different problem to have your WiFi network passwords stolen...

Thanks Jay, I just grabbed version 1.3
