Can't get Group or Light to work with static MAC/IP definitions...

Can't get this to work...

#!/usr/bin/env python

from lifxlan import Light, Group

def main():

  a19_1 = Light('d0:73:d5:22:4a:61', '192.168.0.211')
  a19_2 = Light('d0:73:d5:22:41:f5', '192.168.0.212')
  a19_3 = Light('d0:73:d5:20:ab:e7', '192.168.0.213')

  g = Group([a19_1, a19_2, a19_3])
  g.set_power("on")

if __name__=="__main__":
    main()

Results in...

This is because the latest LIFX firmware changed the MAC address of Gen3 and Gen4 bulbs to be different to the serial of the bulb. If you substract one from your MAC address (in hexadecimal), it should work, i.e. try:

a19_1 = Light('d0:73:d5:22:4a:60', '192.168.0.211')

Hi, thanks for the response. Well, as it turns out it was my fault :-( I didn't account for a change I made to static IPs (shifted the lightbulbs by 10 IP addresses). Sorry for opening the issue.
