LIFX Integration incorrectly excludes A19 bulbs from Morph, Move, Flame and Themes.

[aredon]

The problem

Morph, Move, Flame, and other effects work fine in the app for A19 bulbs yet the integration does not allow commands to be sent to these devices. The LIFX app appears to randomly assign the single color zone a space on the theme and then begin animating colors based on that.

Similarly, theme application works fine in the app but the integration does not provide a dropdown nor a methodology to apply themes to these devices.

Further still, the python library aiolifx from the same creator also lacks a way to apply themes directly. Best bet appears to be to manually look up the color list, randomly apply a color myself, then try to get random phase changes between those colors. Big pain and a damper on my Halloween plans.

The app has been updated by LIFX, but the firmware on the bulbs has not. For effects like Morph and Flame, the app is controlling the effect on devices that don't have the effect in firmware, which we cannot reproduce.

[Djelibeybi]

The theme drop-down is only available to multizone devices like the Lightstrip, Beam, Neon and String or matrix devices like Tile, Candle, Ceiling, Path and Spot.

Ok well shoot - seeing as how I'd need to create a function for this and handle it software side - is there something I can reference to get a color list of the themes? Seems like the functionality could be mimicked by assigning a random color from the list and then essentially just color looping through that list. Move and Morph manifest the same on bulbs as far as the app is concerned and Themes appear to literally just assign a random color.

[Djelibeybi]

Check https://github.com/djelibeybi/aiolifx-themes for the colors for the legacy themes. It can also be used to paint themes across single, multizone and matrix bulbs. I've asked LIFX for a list of colors used in the current app, but haven't received anything yet.
