Standalone App that Converts Art-Net Data into RGB Values for LIFX Bulbs on your Local Network
Requires: Any LIFX Color Bulb & Any Art-Net Software
- Install LIFX Bulbs and Connect to WIFI (Only works on 2.4Ghz, not 5G)
- If you're having trouble connecting refer to LIFX Troubleshooting Website
- DO NOT name/label your lights as just a number, because it will show up blank
- Example: naming your bulb "1A" or "A 1" is OK, but naming it just "1" or "23" will NOT work
- Click "Get LIFX Bulbs"
- This will open the "DevTools" window and if connected will log all available LIFX Bulbs on your Local Network.
- If you do not see this make sure it's on the "Console" tab, not "Elements"
- You'll also notice a drop-down list of populated available LIFX bulbs
- Now to "Patch" these bulbs to our Art-Net universe
- Select LIFX bulb from drop-down list and input starting "Address"
- Click "Patch/Add LIFX Bulb" button
- This will patch and also log below
- You can also patch more than one bulb to the same address for grouping multiple LIFX bulbs to one patched fixture in your lighting software
- "Auto-Patch" takes all available LIFX bulbs and patches them in alphebetical order
- Input your Art-Net's "Subnet, Universe, and Net" ([0, 0, 0] is usually the default)
- Click "Start" and send some Art-Net!
- ETC Nomad & QLab Settings Example:
- Each LIFX Bulb is set up to be a 3-channel fixture (Red, Green, Blue)
- You can use generic 3-channel RGB profiles to patch
- Fun Fact: The Free version of QLab lets you do 16-channels, so you can control 5 LIFX fixtures separately
- Inspired by: lifxe131
- npm library: dmxnet and node-lifx-lan
- and a special thanks to Beamhacker for beta testing
