hklifx

This is a HomeKit bridge for LIFX light bulbs using HomeControl and ~~lifx~~ golifx.

LIFX light bulbs are automatically discovered and published as HomeKit accessories on your local network. After pairing the light bulbs with HomeKit using any iOS HomeKit app (e.g. Home), you can

• use Siri to control your lights using voice command – Hey Siri turn on the bedroom lights
• use HomeKit triggers to automate your lights – turn on the lights every day at 7:00 AM
• remotely access your lights using HomeKit Remote Access (HomeKit uses strong end-to-end encryption)

Getting Started

1. Install Go

2. Setup Go workspace

3. Install

    cd $GOPATH/src
   
    # Clone project
    git clone https://github.com/brutella/hklifx && cd hklifx
   
    # Fetch hklifxd go dependencies
    go get
   

4. Run

    go run hklifxd.go -pin 00102003 -v
