# LIFX Binding
This binding integrates the [LIFX LED Lights](https://www.lifx.com/).
All LIFX lights are directly connected to the WLAN and the binding communicates with them over a UDP protocol.

The following table lists the thing types of the supported LIFX devices:

The thing type determines the capability of a device and with that the possible ways of interacting with it.
The following matrix lists the capabilities (channels) for each type:
| Thing Type | On/Off | Brightness | Color | Color Zone | (Abs) Color Temperature | (Abs) Color Temperature Zone | HEV Cycle | Infrared | Tile Effects |
|---------------|:------:|:----------:|:-----:|:----------:|:-----------------------:|:----------------------------:|:---------:|:--------:|:------------:|
| colorlight | X | | X | | X | | | | |
| colorhevlight | X | | X | | X | | X | | |
| colorirlight | X | | X | | X | | | X | |
| colormzlight | X | | X | X | X | X | | | |
| tilelight | X | X | X | | X | | | | X |
| whitelight | X | X | | | X | | | | |
## Discovery
The binding is able to auto-discover all lights in a network over the LIFX UDP protocol.
Therefore all lights must be turned on.
_Note:_ To get the binding working, all lights must be added to the WLAN network first with the help of the [LIFX smart phone applications](https://www.lifx.com/pages/app).
The binding is NOT able to add or detect lights outside the network.
## Thing Configuration
Each light needs a Device ID or Host as a configuration parameter.
The device ID is printed as a serial number on the light and can also be found within the native LIFX Android or iOS application.
But usually the discovery works quite reliably, so that a manual configuration is not needed.
However, in the thing file, a manual configuration looks e.g. like
```java
Thing lifx:colorlight:living [ deviceId="D073D5A1A1A1", fadetime=200 ]
```
The _fadetime_ is an optional thing configuration parameter which configures the time to fade to a new color value (in ms).
When the _fadetime_ is not configured, the binding uses 300ms as default.
You can optionally also configure a fixed Host or IP address when lights are in a different subnet and are not discovered.
```java
Thing lifx:colorirlight:porch [ host="10.120.130.4", fadetime=0 ]
```
## Channels
All devices support some of the following channels:
| Channel Type ID | Item Type | Description | Thing Types |
|--------------------|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| abstemperature | Number:Temperature | This channel supports adjusting the color temperature in Kelvin. | colorlight, colorhevlight, colorirlight, colormzlight, tilelight, whitelight |
| abstemperaturezone | Number:Temperature | This channel supports adjusting the zone color temperature in Kelvin. | colormzlight |
| brightness | Dimmer | This channel supports adjusting the brightness value. | whitelight |
| color | Color | This channel supports full color control with hue, saturation and brightness values. | colorlight, colorhevlight, colorirlight, colormzlight, tilelight |
| colorzone | Color | This channel supports full zone color control with hue, saturation and brightness values. | colormzlight |
| effect | String | This channel represents a type of light effect (e.g. for tile light: off, morph, flame) | tilelight |
| hevcycle | Switch | This channel supports starting and stopping the HEV clean cycle. | colorhevlight |
| infrared | Dimmer | This channel supports adjusting the infrared value. _Note:_ IR capable lights only activate their infrared LEDs when the brightness drops below a certain level. | colorirlight |
| signalstrength | Number | This channel represents signal strength with values 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; 0 being worst strength and 4 being best strength. | colorlight, colorhevlight, colorirlight, colormzlight, tilelight, whitelight |
| temperature | Dimmer | This channel supports adjusting the color temperature from cold (0%) to warm (100%). | colorlight, colorhevlight, colorirlight, colormzlight, tilelight, whitelight |
| temperaturezone | Dimmer | This channel supports adjusting the zone color temperature from cold (0%) to warm (100%). | colormzlight |
The _color_ and _brightness_ channels have a "Power On Brightness" configuration option that is used to determine the brightness when a light is switched on.
When it is left empty, the brightness of a light remains unchanged when a light is switched on or off.
The _color_ channels have a "Power On Color" configuration option that is used to determine the hue, saturation, brightness levels when a light is switched on.
When it is left empty, the color of a light remains unchanged when a light is switched on or off.
Configuration options contains 3 comma separated values, where first value is hue (0-360), second saturation (0-100) and third brightness (0-100).
If both "Power on brightness" and "Power On Color" configuration options are defined, "Power on brightness" option overrides the brightness level defined on the "Power on color" configuration option.
The _temperature_ channels have a "Power On Temperature" configuration option that is used to determine the color temperature when a light is switched on. When it is left empty, the color temperature of a light remains unchanged when a light is switched on or off.
MultiZone lights (_colormzlight_) have several channels (e.g. _colorzone0_, _temperaturezone0_, _abstemperaturezone0_, etc.) that allow for controlling specific zones of the light.
Changing the _color_, _temperature_ and _abstemperature_ channels will update the states of all zones.
The _color_, _temperature_ and _abstemperature_ channels of MultiZone lights always return the same state as _colorzone0_, _temperaturezone0_, _abstemperaturezone0_.
The _hevcycle_ channels have an optional "HEV Cycle Duration" configuration option that can be used to override the cycle duration configured in the light.
LIFX Tile (_tilelight_) supports special tile effects: morph and flame.
These effects are predefined to their appearance using LIFX application.
Each effect has a separate speed configuration option.
## Full Example
In this example **living** is a Color 1000 light that has a _colorlight_ thing type which supports _color_ and _temperature_ channels.
The **desk** light is a LIFX Clean that has a _colorhevlight_ thing type which supports _color_, _temperature_ and _hevcycle_ channels.
The **porch** light is a LIFX+ BR30 that has a _colorirlight_ thing type which supports _color_, _temperature_ and _infrared_ channels.
The **ceiling** light is a LIFX Z with 2 strips (16 zones) that has a _colormzlight_ thing type which supports _color_, _colorzone_, _temperature_ and _temperaturezone_ channels.
Finally, **kitchen** is a White 800 (Low Voltage) light that has a _whitelight_ thing type which supports _brightness_ and _temperature_ channels.
Either create a single _Color_ item linked to the _color_ channel and define _Switch_, _Slider_ and _Colorpicker_ entries with this item in the sitemap.
Or create items for each type (_Color_, _Switch_, _Dimmer_) and define the correspondent entries in the sitemap.
