At the moment, these types can't be serialized/deserialized in UWP (no reflection as a workaround). I don't want to have to rely on device discovery upon app startup before issuing commands to cached light bulbs and the Lifxnet API only accepts Lightbulb instances for telling it where to send commands.

An alternative would be to provide API overloads allowing MAC, IP, port params etc and I can just cache that data instead rather than Lightbulb instances.

Thanks ;)

I have four lights, all functioning, all in the same room, same network.
2 of them are found and 2 of them are never found by the library. (it is always the same two)

What could be the reason for that?

I ran into a System.Net.Sockets.SocketException trying to initialize the LIFX client.

var task = LifxNet.LifxClient.CreateAsync();

{"An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions"}

What's the best way to work around this? My first thought is to run as administrator or some other app manifest permission like "Private (Networks Client & Server)".

Thanks,

I'm trying the get the label of the device instead of just the Hostname, but the call to GetDeviceLabelAsync doesn't work. It just hangs and never returns.

Hey there!

I can't be 100%, but I think the version on NuGet needs to be updated.

Trying this with my project, I'm getting an socket error because it's trying to bind to the address multiple times.

However, in the source for the project, I see you've added socket.reuseaddr to the socket init code, so I'm assuming NuGet needs to be updated.

Could you do this, pretty please? :D

I'm working on a project where when i score in the game "Rocket League" i trigger my lights into a matching team color. So far i've succefully made it using the web api, though it's a bit slow, so i want to get it going over lan.
In the web api i can call a function that changes the hue over time smoothly, though i can't seem to find anything like that with your library.
This is what it looks like in action, it changes slowly back to the color it was before scoring: https://imgur.com/a/FjoSa

I run this from within Kubernetes, That means it doesn't have ability to broadcast/scan my home network, therefore I can't use this - but dang, so close - thanks.

I have a virtual ethernet card added on my system from the installation of Docker in Hyper-V. It is a NAT interface so it doesn't really go anywhere. When this interface is enabled, LifxNet is not able to detect lights on my network. As soon as I disable it, detection works perfectly. I'm not sure what other diagnostic info I can provide, so please let me know and I will be happy to help.
