LIFX Tasker Plugin
Free AppAbout LIFX Tasker Plugin
An unofficial bridge between LIFX® light bulbs and Tasker. Find it under Actions > Plugin > LIFX Control (via Tasker).
Need some ideas? Here's a few to get you started:
* Get notified: Pulse bulbs when you get a notification. Use different colors for different apps to know what's up before you even check your phone!
* Turn on the lights: Turn on your lights automatically when you get home at night.
* Wake up: Turn on your bulbs automatically with your morning alarm. Make a short light show to help you force yourself out of bed in the morning!
* Make shortcuts to an action right on your home screen. Instantly toggle a group of bulbs!
Check out the Recipes page for even more awesome ideas, and submit your own: https://github.com/timothyb89/lifx-tasker/wiki/Recipes
Currently in alpha, it supports:
* Basic actions: on, off, toggle, set color, pulse color from any Tasker profile
* Discovery and select any combination of bulbs on your network
* Quick bulb control via the "LIFX Tasker Plugin" app (found in your app drawer)
More actions (including color and brightness changing) and event support coming soon!
Please note: this is a preliminary alpha release, and while it has been tested as thoroughly as possible by the developer, it may cause damage to your device or your bulbs. You've been warned!

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Causes bulbs to become unresponsive occasionally and breaks them in other apps

This does exactly what I need it to. If I could set intensity would be the only way to make it better. Nicely done, Dev!

It was all working great. Until the LIFX app and bulb firmware got an update. Probably that changed a few APIs and restructured. Please provide an update! It's an extremely useful plugin/app for me and many others. Thanks.

This plugin was awesome until the previous LIFX firmware update. I would love to see an update to fix the bugs--this is a really cool concept but is really frustrating now that it has no function. Please update!!

I've had pretty good success with this plugin for Tasker. What it really needs is the ability to set brightness level, and a proper range for colour temperature. I hope the developer can add these features, I would be happy to throw a few bucks their way if it would help make the difference.

Finally a way to use LiFX to visually notify! My issue was I was getting an empty list of bulbs. Have to force kill tasked and plugin and make sure native LIFX app is not running before retrying tasker.

Stopped working. Standalone on/off ok but no bulb showing up in tasker. Worked plus minus before update.

...but alas it does not. It will see the bulbs fine when you first open it, but I could not get even a basic power on task to work even once. Great idea, but needs a lot of work.

After the latest update it can now recognize and control 1/4 bulbs without any problems. I hooked it up to pushbullet and it works pretty well!

Took me an hour to find the bulbs and get it working. Then loses then, rendering the task I created useless.

This needs a lot of work before it can be considered ready for production. Crashes often. Sometimes only recognises some (or none!) of my bulbs. Colour selection is primitive with no way to select from a palette of different white colour temps like the official app. I had high hopes when I found this, but it did not live up to my expectations.

Needs a prod every now and again. Otherwise ok.
