Thanks, I thought I'd read that the tiles section wasn't used, but things move fast around here 
I'll have to have a play with dashboards I suppose
Okay, new version merged into master on GitHub - robheyes/lifxcode
You'll need to update LIFX Master (first remove the existing app instance which will delete the devices) and the two drivers LIFX Discovery and LIFX Color - you can include LIFX Tile if you wish but it's pretty much empty. Once you've done that, create a new app instance of LIFX Master.
Changes:
LIFX Color:
- Color Temperature support
LIFX Master UI:
- Added Discover New Devices button
- Now shows a message while scanning which indicates the current pass
- Shows the count and names of known LIFX devices

Awesome - it discovers all of my LIFX lights. No device yet for Day/Dusk or the Z Strips of course, but they do in fact show in discovery.

I have Mini White, Mini Day and Dusk and Mini Plus (with infrared) bulbs here, just not hooked them up yet.
I want to make some more changes to the LIFX Color device handler before tackling those - still need to reliably fetch the current state before telling the bulb to change. Once that's working I'll start on the other drivers. Hoping to get that done this week sometime.

New version is up there.
You'll definitely need to remove the app instance before updating the code. Check for any LIFX Color devices and remove them before rescanning - they should all be removed automatically, but you never know
-
Polling the bulbs once a minute so the current saved state of the bulb should mostly match up to the real state. This is simpler than my original plan to ask the bulb for its state before performing an update.
-
Discovery progress display is much nicer now, devices are shown by the group assigned within LIFX. If you have lots of bulbs this should make it easier to see if any are missing. Also had a bit of a play with styling UI elements

Day & Dusk working well! Nice one! It appears the "set color time" (duration) is ignored for color temperature on both the D&D and Color bulbs.
I may add a separate setting for that
Not sure what I'm seeing there - I don't use dashboards.
What kind of bulb is it? I've noticed some odd behaviour with the LIFX+ bulb that I've been meaning to investigate e.g. the bulb turning on unexpectedly - not seen the same with the ordinary Colour, White or Day and Dusk bulbs.
I was able to discover and add my bulbs, but the two white ones I have are saying that there's no LIFX White driver installed, even though it is. I noticed the code for the white says LIFX White Mono. Do I need to change something there to get them to work?
Edit - I deleted mono from the code and now it's working.
I'll add a proper LIFX White driver - the Mini White Mono is different since you can't change the colour temperature. Pretty sure that's the only difference. I won't be able to test it since I don't have any suitable devices.
Any chance you or anyone is working on something for calling LIFX scenes? I use WebCore heavily to call on some scenes and would love to have something similar here.
There was a Device Type in ST that i remember seeing that has this ability. I'll attempt to find it.
Edit: Found it
Scenes only work with the HTTP version of the protocol.
That code should work with some minor changes.
- Change the
asynchttp_v1.put('responseHandler', params)on line 149 to
asyncHttpPut('responseHandler', params) - Remove the include on line 22
- Remove the tiles section lines 47-55
Let me know if those changes work, or otherwise.
Made the changes. Getting this error when trying to execute.

Still have errors unfortunately.

Can't tell you why. The above worked for me.
You are installing the code as a Driver and not an App correct?
Yup. Let me try deleting and re adding
That seems to have done it! Thanks for your help!
Anytime...keep in mind that this driver will not present itself as a button device in apps. It could be edited to do so, but will not work as is.
