1.5.0 Official

This is the official release of LIFX-Control-Panel 1.5.0 (Groups). Nothing has fundamentally changed since the beta2 release; this is just to signify that it's considered "stable" at this point, and has been merged into the main branch.

Groups beta.2

• Group interface only updates the changed parameter. For example, if you only move the brightness slider, all the lights in the group will have the same new brightness, but will not change their hue, saturation, or temperature.

• Groups can now be utilized in keybinds. You'll find them at the bottom of the bulbs dropdown menu. (I'm still working on batch commands, so you can only control one bulb/group with a single shortcut. The batch feature is coming soon!)

Device Groups Beta.1 (Size fix)

Fixed binary sizing issue. Venv was still trying to package PyQt5 with the binaries, even though it's not used on this branch. Additionally, this branch should be targeting the correct tag on the source code (whereas the last one was a few pushes behind).

Device Groups Beta

Added basic group support. Icons for each group will show up along the bottom. For some reason, the binary has almost doubled in size. I've tried reinstalling my virtualenvironment, but to no avail. Still, the build should provide full group functionality, so give it a shot.

1.4.2: Stability / Bugfixes

• Fixed uncaught device communication exception.
• Added more verbose error message.

v2.3.1 - Color Cycle Brightness and Stability Fix

• Color Cycle takes current brightness into account
• Updating light bulbs, especially with Rescan should be more stable

Small bugfixes and GUI repsonsiveness

• BulbIcons from the BulbIconList now update immediately after moving a slider
• The overall color of a bulb in the GUI now takes Kelvin into account. This means, finally, the color shown on-screen is the exact color the lightbulb is putting out.

1.4.0 Official Release

I've decided to finally release the new ColorScale widgets. These should allow easier visualization.

Added ColorScale widgets, to better show slider values

New ColorScale widgets replace the old built-in Scale widget.

Also binarized the lightbulb icon, removing anti-aliased values causing the icon to look a lot sharper.

Fixed GUI Lag on Icon Update

Updating every icon every time would cause the GUI to hang. This update fixes this by only updating the icons where their corresponding bulb has changed.

EDIT: Added a line to actually reset the updated flag when the icon has been updated.
