Activate LIFX Scenes with ST

[jsulliweb (Sully)]

Is there a native way to activate a LIFX scene in ST, say through SmartLighting? I know webCoRE has this functionality, and I’m using it. I’m just curious to see if there’s a more straightforward way to accomplish it. Thanks!

That’s as straight forward as it is going to get.

I’m assuming you are using the method from the wiki:

How to: Activate a Predefined Hue / LIFX Scene from SmartThings / webCoRE

Prerequisites: Have webCoRE installed Own at least one Hue bulb -or- Own at least one LIFX bulb Have at least one Scene defined in your Hue or LIFX Mobile App Summary: This is for those of you who would like to be able to set a predefined scene that you previously created in Hue and/or LIFX from within SmartThings via webCoRE Piston. This eliminates in most cases, the need for you to have to create a “Scene” using the SmartThings App and then having to create a SmartThings Routine to set that scene, allowing you to reuse one set of predefined scenes directly from Hue or LIFX. Instructions: Hue: In IFTTT, connect to the Webhooks service. Take the url created for your connection (Use a laptop or non phone device - Makes it easier for copying and pasting) Open webCore Dashboard / Set…

Outside of webCoRE allowing you to directly integrate with LIFX, Smart Lighting, Routines or any other automation (not directly) will not allow you to do anything like this. The only other way I can see you doing this is via IFTTT applets (which I don’t recommend from a performance standpoint - the delay will be signicantly longer) where you have the Trigger service as SmartThings and something is switched on or off and then your Action Service is LIFX and you Activate scene.

Yep. That’s what I’m doing. Though, I apparently wasn’t typing in the right stuff in the search because I didn’t see that post. Thanks for the info!
