Lifx.Lib

Portable Class Library (PCL) to control LIFX Bulbs

Installation

PM> Install-Package Lifx.Lib

Usage

Create DatagramSocket and connect it with the library

private const string Port = "56700";
private static readonly ILifxNetwork _network = LifxNetworkFactory.Instance;
private static readonly DatagramSocket _socket;

static LifxNetworkService()
{
    _socket = new DatagramSocket();
    _socket.Control.DontFragment = true;
    _socket.MessageReceived += HandleIncomingMessages;

    var connectionProfile = NetworkInformation.GetConnectionProfiles().FirstOrDefault(
        p => p.IsWlanConnectionProfile && p.GetNetworkConnectivityLevel() != NetworkConnectivityLevel.None);

    if (connectionProfile != null)
    {
        _socket.BindServiceNameAsync(Port, connectionProfile.NetworkAdapter);
    }

    _network.RegisterSender(SendCommand);
}

private static async void SendCommand(IGateway gateway, byte[] data)
{
    using (var stream = await _socket.GetOutputStreamAsync(new HostName(IpProvider.BroadcastAddress), Port))
    {
        await stream.WriteAsync(data.AsBuffer(0, data.Length));
    }
}

private static void HandleIncomingMessages(DatagramSocket sender, DatagramSocketMessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
    var address = e.RemoteAddress.ToString();

    using (var reader = e.GetDataReader())
    {
        var data = reader.DetachBuffer().ToArray();
        _network.ReceivedPacket(address, data);
    }

}

Scan Network

var gateways = _network.GetGateways();
foreach (var gateway in gateways)
{
    // search for bulbs in already known gateways
    _network.ScanGateway(gateway);
}

// search for new gateways
_network.ScanNetwork(IpProvider.BroadcastAddress);

Perform bulb actions

_network.ChangeColor(bulb, hsvColor, 0);

_network.SwitchOn(bulb);
_network.SwitchOff(bulb);
