I ran 'sudo python setup.py install' it ran that with no errors, But when I launch the app it then it throws an error. In the console is shows 'Menu[60548]: ImportError: No module named lifx' & 'LIFX Menu[60548]: LIFX Menu Error'

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you try running python setup.py py2app with sudo prepended or not and let me know. Cheers

ymilord commented 10 years ago

Awesome that seemed to work. Thanks!

After I launched the app, It was in a hung state until I fired up the LiFX app on iOS. In the pull down it only shows about half of the bulbs and its listing them by MAC address. I assume is going to take a bit before I finds them all. Is there a way to rename the bulbs? Or pull the name/tags of the existing ones?

luwes commented 10 years ago

Cool! I've noticed the hanging too. We probably need to start using the official LIFX API (https://github.com/lifx) instead of the reverse engineered one which is currently in place. No way to rename the bulbs for now. I understand that this would be not so user friendly if you have a lot of bulbs :smile:

Ah Okay.

Thanks again for all the help!

Just pushed an update that tries to use the bulb labels (they have to be set beforehand on mobile)
