A Python library for managing and controlling smart lights.

Currently only Lifx is supported but support for Philips Hue is planned.

• Python 3.4 or higher

If you want to see what this library can do just run the demo:

$ git clone https://github.com/MoritzS/licht.git
$ cd licht
$ ./demo.py
Discovering lights:
Discovered "My Light 1"
Discovered "My Light 2"

Running demo on "My Light 1":

ping: success
power: LightPower.OFF
color: LightWhite(brightness=0.8499885557335775, kelvin=3500)
power off: success
power on: success
bright white: success
warm white: success
color red: success
color green: success
color blue: success

Running demo on "My Light 2":

ping: success
power: LightPower.OFF
color: LightColor(hue=239.87914854657816, saturation=0.0009918364232852674, brightness=0.2030212863355459)
power off: success
power on: success
bright white: success
warm white: success
color red: success
color green: success
color blue: success

Here are some examples on how to work with licht:

• Turn of all Lifx lights in your network:

  backend = LifxBackend()
  for light in backend.discover_lights():
      light.poweroff()

• Turn on a light with a specific IP address:

  backend = LifxBackend()
  light = backend.get_light('192.168.123.123')
  light.poweron()

• Set the color of a light to red:

  light.set_color(LightColor(hue=0, saturation=1, brightness=1))

• Fade the color of a light to blue over 5 seconds:

  light.fade_color(LightColor(hue=240, saturation=1, brightness=1), 5)

• Dim a light that is currently white:

  white = light.get_color()
  assert isinstance(white, LightWhite)
  light.set_color(LightWhite(white.brightness / 2, white.kelvin))
