LiFX Color/Brightness Change Over Time

[eric182 (Eman ym)]

I do this exact same thing. Virtual buttons linked to LIFX scenes. Activated with Ifttt. Also I have a RM rule that turns on a vs every night at 10:30pm. That vs is linked to an Ifttt recipe that sets a scene, but DOES NOT turns the bulbs on until motion is detected. See link below.

Lifx Tip: ignore power if you want to pre-set scene via IFTTT

If you use motion sensors like and lifx… the main reason I got lifx is to use the awesome scene functionality via the app. Recently, Lifx updated ifttt to set scenes… but I personally don’t want them to turn on or off… I just want to set the scene and not change the state of the bulb. With some help from lifx support - I found you can do this by adding “ignore: power” to the Advanced Options to Activate Scene. So if the lights are on - the scene will show the change straight away…if they are off - they won’t change til they are turned on next. Working very well!
