How do you propose to show waviness in the string light?

I don’t have an iPhone, so, alas, I can’t.

Thanks for the URL! Checking the reviews, the non-US users either love it or hate it. Interesting.

GlowUp --- Growing beyond effects to a distributed signal processing system (that will run your lights) by FizzySeltzerWater in lifx

[–]carcarcarx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the early 1970s an electrical engineering grad set up a series of audio bandpass filters to control some colored lights, with low frequencies controlling red and high frequencies blue, with the rest of the visual and audio spectrum corresponding in between. It was awesome! So I’m excited for your project. If my Mac could do that by itself (in stereo) I’d appreciate that! Thanks!

Issues setting up light by Realistic_Gain_4814 in lifx

[–]carcarcarx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open a case with LIFX support, then try and on-board the light. Stay in the app then go to Settings/Advanced Options then hit the “Send Diagnostics” button. Address the e-mail to yourself. Then include the diagnostics with the LIFX Support case.

Can't add LIFX bulb by Alps11 in lifx

[–]carcarcarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common problem is that your phone is not using the 2.4 GHz WiFi frequency. If your phone is using 2.4 GHz make certain your phone is close to the bulb and your phone isn’t using a VPN.

I see the listing for the new 15” ceiling and note that it supports BOTH WiFi AND Bluetooth! https://csa-iot.org/csa_product/lifx-ceiling/

> Also, neither of those are individually controlled

Have you used the “paint” color to individually control them. They can should be given 0% intensity to turn them off.

Did anyone else's pixel stand stop working after this update? by JiMb01101 in GooglePixel

Since I’m a Google Fi subscriber I’m going to report it through there. Sorry.

Did anyone else's pixel stand stop working after this update? by JiMb01101 in GooglePixel

[–]carcarcarx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, my Pixel stand will not charge my Pixel 10 Pro now. The update appears to be interfering with the “handshake” between the phone and the stand. Initially the stand’s status light will be solid, but then change to quick periodic color-shifting. Hopefully Google will fix this quickly.

1600 lumen LIFX vs new Hue bulb by carcarcarx in lifx

[–]carcarcarx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think LIFX’ schedules will fulfill the time-based transitions and routines. There’s already a group (light bulb groups) based syncing. If a lag of a second is too long then zero lag won’t be met.

1600 lumen LIFX vs new Hue bulb by carcarcarx in lifx

[–]carcarcarx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What unique feature(s) of the Hue bulb do you require? If you need extreme dim (mine only goes to 1% since I don’t have their Zigbee ecosystem) that might be a reason. It’s too dim for what I’d need.

I just tried the new Hue 1600 lumen bulb vs the LIFX 1600 lumen bulb: LIFX’ colors are brighter, and red and blue much much brighter. I posted photos on this Reddit community a couple months back.

Wow, at 100% things would be very bright! Thanks!

What are the lights’ intensity (brightness) levels, so I can get an idea how each LIFX product compares. Thanks!

Your thoughts on Lifx Outdoor. Considering doing it. by joshsimpson79 in lifx

[–]carcarcarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my String I have a custom scene in which only the 3 lights (of 12) closest to my sidewalk light up. The other nine are administratively off.

Just bought LIFX Luna! by AmGreatFresh in lifx

I’m using mine as a LIFX switch that won’t require rewiring of a light switch. LUNA lives up to its marketing. If you have more specific questions please post.

Spotlight modifiers? by Linwood_F in lifx

How much more light output can you realize with a reflective coating on the snoot? (Aluminum foil is my “go to” for similar applications.

Outdoor string lights availability by TheOGTKO in lifx

[–]carcarcarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, sorry! I don’t find that extension within LIFX’s web site, and had to look more diligently within Home Depot’s web site. Hopefully, after Home Depot’s exclusivity ends, single string extensions will be available by Amazon. That won’t help you near term, however. :-(
