lifxsh

Node.js based command line interface for controlling LIFX lamps. Uses the LIFX LAN protocol for communication.

Release notes

replace spaces with dashes for light aliases used to avoid using quotes when addressing lights so for example "Kitchen Table" becomes "kitchen-table"
include light alias in the output of list
parse duration in natural language, e.g. on kitchen-table -d 5m
update lifx-lan-client to v1.1.0 to support newer products
fix stale cached light status issue
fix unhandled promise warning

preliminary infrared LED support added (brightness can be changed but the light list information still needs to be updated)

works with all current LIFX products (no support for LIFX+ or LIFX Z special features yet)
uses LAN protocol (fast/responsive) - thanks MariusRumpf/node-lifx!
interactive color CLI - thanks dthree/vorpal!
- in-app help
- tab completion of light names (lowercase form based on given labels)
- command history
- logs individual bulb/strip online/offline statuses
- list all lights with power state, color information and IP address
- multiple light names can be listed to set all at once
- alias all can be used to target all lights, alternatively name can be omitted
- caches the previous color properties fetched from lights to allow changing only single attribute (LAN protocol defines hue/saturation/brightness need to always be sent together)
supports most LIFX functionalities
- on/off toggle with optional transition delay
- change color using hue/saturation/brightness and luminosity (kelvin) (with optional transition delay)
