LIFX

Built inLocal pollingPlatinum
The LIFX integration controls LIFX lights over your local network, without going through the LIFX cloud. Use it to switch your lights on and off, set their color and brightness, and start the animated effects that LIFX lights can run.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
9 reports below say how a device from this integration behaves in the Home app.
What people report
LIFX is fully local over LAN with 10 second polling; all bulb families listed work. HomeKit control of color bulbs gives different color temperature results.

| LIFX bulbs | Works Local | Partly in Home Color temperature differs from LAN protocol on color bulbs | LIFX integration is fully local LAN; HomeKit colours differSaved copyUsing HomeKit, color LIFX bulbs don't expose their white LED, i.e. the color_temp is emulated using HSB values. So, what you're getting is a _color_ that resembles the kelvin value. Not the white LED set to the Kelvin value. If you want accurate color temp on a color bulb, use the LIFX integration. If you have Warm to White bulbs, use the HomeKit integration. And yes, if you have LIFX integration enabled, it will poll each of those bulbs at least every 10 seconds.
