If you follow these instructions you don’t need to set your lights with SmartThings. You can set your lights exactly the way you have them defined in scenes directly in your LIFX app which will set the bulb brightness and color for all your bulbs:
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.
