LIFX bulbs with ST—can I use effects and themes like the ones in the LIFX app?

I just purchased a LIFX bulb to test and see if I like them. I have the ST hub so I connected them to the hub and also downloaded the LIFX app as well.

Have to say the LIFX app is very nice and easy to use. I really like the effects as well as some of the themes.

Anyway to have those effects or themes in scenes in the ST hub? I also noticed in my Alexa app it has the bulb twinge one from LIFX app and the other fro ST.

I DL Webcore and have been checking out how to create pistons.

How would I go about getting the LIFX bulbs to turn on to the specific LIFX effect or theme?
