No bulbs detected #14

Closed eangulus closed 6 years ago

eangulus commented 7 years ago

Just got 12 Lifx bulbs and got everything set up, and was hoping to use the 3 lounge room ones for Ambilight.

I installed this plugin but for some reason, it keeps saying that no bulbs are detected.

The bulbs are working fine with the Lifx App. They are Lifx Mini's if that matters.

I did try to adjust the broadcast IP value as per written in the Kodi forums to no avail.

Same issue here. My lifx strip works with every application on my phone but not with this add-on. I am running it from a physically connected PC, same network, same subnet - is that supposed to make a difference?

eangulus commented 6 years ago

No solution for me. At this stage, I cannot get any 3rd party apps, programs, scripts to work with Lifx Mini.

Really regretting my decision on Lifx now.

g3c2 commented 6 years ago

Hm... I can get 3rd party apps working fine, just not this add-on. One example I can offer you is "OnSwitch" (ios /free/App store) - just a simple scene app that picked up my lifx light right away. That's what I used to narrow down connectivity probs to this add-on, unless it has something to do with my having connected via ethernet (which wouldn't make sense to me). g'luck...

eangulus commented 6 years ago

But what type of bulbs? I seem to read a lot of issues with 3rd party stuff for the new Mini's. I don't see problems with the older bulbs.

eangulus commented 6 years ago

And I have tried Onswitch on a Pixel XL.

Nothing at all. Not 1 single bulb out of the 12 I have here.

Hi I have the Lifx Z Experience model LZC3M4WWUC07 / 10ft

eangulus commented 6 years ago

Does that use a different API?

I think the Mini uses v3

sanghviharshit commented 6 years ago

New version v1 should work with Lifx Z and Lifx Mini.
