Trigger LIFX bulb color based on Smartthings sensor temperature?

[CGDryer]

I’d like to turn on my LIFX bulb to a specific color based on a below temperature event from a multi sensor. I’m a newbie- I did browse through the community posts and I don’t see anything like this as a smart app. Have I missed something or is there another app that can be modified to do this?

Ask in the core peer assistance thread. I believe it can manage LIFX colors but check to be sure.

Normally you wouldn’t need core for a rule this simple, but it does do a good job of color management.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…

For simpler way…

I just realized LIFX has an IFTTT service/channel. So does smartThings. So it looks like most people are just creating a virtual switch, then setting up an IFTTT applet so that when that switch comes on something happens in the LIFX channel, and then going back and setting up a SmartThings smart lighting automation or other rule to turn on the virtual switch when they want.

Thank you so much! CoRE intrigues me, I think I will check it out-
something to learn anyway!
