switch for lifx bulbs?

zoidberg

Hey folks,

Looking for a physical switch or button to turn my lifx bulbs on and off. (dimmer will be a huge plus)

i want it to be wireless so won’t need installation and connected over wifi i guess.

i don’t have a hub or home assistant and wouldn’t want to get one for this.

Otherwise, i found Shelly button which is reasonably priced, works on wifi but i’m not sure it will actually work with lifx, will it?

any other suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

If your lifx bulbs have an api which knows api requests, then it should be possible.

It doesn't matter to shelly which device it sends the http request to.

Have a nice sunday.

The Lifx are smart lamps, so they must not be dimmed externally.

Unfortunately, you need post to control it, so it doesn't work with the button.

but with the gen2 and a script it can work.

Thanks for the suggestions, seems a bit complicated for me.

I'll check it out though.
