LIFx plugin for homebridge

homebridge-lifx's Issues

Lifx Z Strips

How does this plugin handle the Lifx Z Strips being able to have multiple color zones?

Changing brightness fails

Currently, setting the brightness in the Home app using homebridge-lifx fails.
Tracked it down to this line, which is setting null for the power_on parameter of the LIFX api setColor function

Unable to set colours over the LAN protocol.

As the issue states, this plugin is unable to change the LIFX lights colours via the LAN protocol.

Talking with homebridge

Dumb question so how exactly do I get this started with home bridge? I added it as a platform in my config and I guess it see's it because it says the platform initializes, but then nothing. It doesn't show up in my home kit app. However if I manually change the power state of the bulb while home bridge is running it says "unknown packet type 118" which is what leaves me to believe that it can see it.

Crashes homebridge if internet is down

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.lifx.com api.lifx.com:443
    at errnoException (dns.js:28:10)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:76:26)

If the lifx api is down, homebridge-lifx should treat the bulbs as unavailable, or try to operate over the LAN.

After editing index.js to have var Service,Characteristic module will not load

Whenever I try to launch home bridge with the Lifx module configured Homebridge fails to load with error:
