Add Support For Candle Color bulbs #140

Closed frakman1 closed 4 years ago

frakman1 commented 4 years ago

Is there any chance you could add support for the new LIFX candle color bulbs?

The product link is here

When I ran hello_world.py, it saw all my other LIFX bulbs but not the new candle color ones.

The new product ID is 68

Hey Frak! A fix for this was merged a few months ago, should be there if you pull and reinstall from source: https://github.com/mclarkk/lifxlan/pull/135

Great. Thank you. I guess I should have checked first. I just tried it and it works with my bulbs now.

Hello,

Just to note the candle colour is a chain device with 26 zones (https://uk.lifx.com/products/candle-color). It works fine just by changing chain setting in products.py to true. Mine is device ID 57.

Thanks for making LifxLAN - got it working with no prior python experience in under an hour!

Some more useful information here by the way: https://community.lifx.com/t/updating-the-http-api-and-lan-protocol-docs-for-the-candle-colour/6376

It doesn't work with the Tile setting (at least on the v3.50 firmware) by the way despite this post describing it as tiles.
