[whoismoses (Eric)]

I can’t tell if someone answered your LIFX question…

It is because CoRE is going directly against the LIFX cloud bypassing the local DH. The LIFX device handlers suck.

[OBSOLETE] LIFX Group of Groups

##LIFX Group of Groups (LGoG) provides the following capabilities through a device handler and an optional companion application (LIFX Sync): Control a Group of LIFX Bulbs as a Single Device (Note: LGoG does not sync your bulbs, it communicates directly with LIFX to control them as a single group. This way you will see all of the lights change at the same time, not one by one. )This capability is the primary reason I created LGoG. By default, using the LIFX (Connect) app that comes with SmartThings all of your light bulbs will get added to SmartThings. If you have 1 bulb, this is likely just fine for you, however if you have many bulb, specifically bulbs you would like to control as a single device you are out of luck. Before LGoG you had to either download a SmartApp that would watch yo…

If you want to just control a bulb, I have this also.
