Hey there - Thanks for the 6.0.14 plugin - it's been working great. Still getting some No Asks, but they recover quickly and almost unnoticeable in "real world use" unless I look at the log and see the error there. It's been an improvement from the version 5.

I was wondering if you could add support for a (newish) variant of the LIFX A19. This has a model number (according to the app) of "LIFX Color A19 1100lm".
Querying the LIFX REST API, it says this for the device:

Code: Select all

    "product": {
      "name": "LIFX A19",
      "identifier": "lifx_a19",
      "company": "LIFX",
      "vendor_id": 1,
      "product_id": 93,
      "capabilities": {
        "has_color": true,
        "has_variable_color_temp": true,
        "has_ir": false,
        "has_hev": false,
        "has_chain": false,
        "has_matrix": false,
        "has_multizone": false,
        "min_kelvin": 1500,
        "max_kelvin": 9000
      }

I tried adding the product ID in the products.py in my copy of the plugin, but the new bulb wasn't discovered still. (I'm sure I missed something). At any rate, it be much appreciated if you could add the new product id.

Thanks for the plugin!

Glad you are enjoying the plugin.

"product_id": 93 isn't listed on the LIFX Developer site yet AFAICS, see: LIFX - Our Products

I'll look at trying a fix for this tomorrow [UK time] (using your LIFX REST API info) which will be on a best endeavours basis as it isn't documented. I will upload a pre-release to Github and let you know when you can try it out.

Hi Andrew,

.... At any rate, it be much appreciated if you could add the new product id.

New Pre-Release uploaded to Github: Add support for LIFX Color A19 1100lm

Let me know if it works for you.

Hey thanks for the quick turn around - I just installed it and it's working great. Whoo-hoo!!

I did find the source of my issue - device discovery was blocked because of the VLAN I put the light on when i set it up. (still trying to get cross VLAN UDP Broadcast working). After I put the light back on my main VLAN, it was discovered with my addition of product 93 to the plugin and also with the the pre-release plugin you posted.

"product_id": 93 isn't listed on the LIFX Developer site yet AFAICS, see: LIFX - Our Products

Yeah, I noticed that too - Not sure why they hadn't updated the Dev site documentation since I have two in hand!
So, like any self respecting nerd, I got an API Key and hit up the REST to see what the device was reporting. LOL.

As an aside, I think I found a bug in the set color when trying to use "Pre-Fill Options: Set Value from Lifx Device". After picking the device from the dropdown, I get this error printed in the log an the UI does not update with the state from the selected device.

Code: Select all

   LIFX Error                      Error in plugin execution UiAction:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 1302, in actionConfigLifxDeviceSelected
NameError: global name 'devId' is not defined

I was getting this error in both the latest release from the Plugin Store as well as the pre-release on Github.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the report.

It seems like that is a bug that has been around since I don't know when.

Should be fixed in Version 6.0.17, now available as a pre-release on Github: Bug Fix

Just installed it — the "Pre-Fill Options: Set Value from Lifx Device" appears to be functioning as expected.

Thanks again for such a quick turn-around. You rock!
