It can be downloaded from here: LIFX Plugin Version 6.0.14
There have been three areas I have focused on in the V6.x.x version:
- Significant improvements in how no ack situations are handled.
- Made it a user selectable option as to whether LIFX devices are auto-discovered or specified manually.
- Significant code refactoring and minor bug fixes.
If you install this version and you were previously on v5.x.x you will need to do the following (this is a once off):
- Edit the plugin configuration, check the new settings and then save it
- Edit each of your Indigo LIFX devices and select the relevant LIFX device from the pull-down list of discovered LIFX devices to assign to this Indigo LIFX device being edited. Alternatively, specify the LIFX device's MAC address and IP address.
In the plugin config you can specify the number of recovery attempts before a LIFX device will go into a no ack state and also the number of seconds between attempts. A LIFX device that is in a no ack state will be checked every polling cycle. You can also try to recover a no ack state by disabling and enabling the LIFX device listed in the Indigo device list UI - uncheck and then check the Comm Enabled check box for the LIFX device. When a LIFX device is in recovery the State in the Indigo device UI will change to recovery active [n] where n is the current recovery attempt. If a device is in a no ack state, issuing a command e.g. Turn On / Turn Off will attempt a recovery (which the plugin didn't previously do).
Since the initial V6 release there have been numerous bug fixes and small improvements - see Github releases list for info: Github Releases
This version includes support for a range of new LIFX devices (as at 27th December 2020).
