Can't Discover Working LIFX Bulb in a /23 Subnet #108

Open njoyzrd opened 3 years ago

I checked the code (but I'm not a developer) looking for how the discovery process works. I found it odd that the subnets are input in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx rather than xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy. My subnet is 192.168.10.0/23 so I'm currently trying to discover "192.168.10, 192.168.11" which does seem to scan both subnets.

My LIFX bulb is 192.168.11.17 which it fails to discover. Because my subnet is a /23, I'm not sure that this module is allowing my device to discover. The bulb is local to the same 192.168.10.0/23 subnet as the Hubitat hub. In case it matters, my gateway for this subnet is 192.168.10.250 and not .1 as may be guessed/expected.

The bulb works just fine through the LIFX app so I know it's working on the network. It could also be controlled with SmartThings (which I've since replaced with Hubitat).

Thanks for any help!

Same issue here, but the readme states that /24 is needed.
