LIFX Z (Non-Homekit) show Firmware Update in Home app

[mab5vot9us9a]

The LIFX Z LED strips that are not Homekit enabled prompt a firmware update notification in the Home app.

To mitigate this I believe one would need handle this special case on line 933 in index.js.

Just wanted to give this a signal boost as I’m noticing the same issue with the two non-HomeKit LIFX Z strips in my setup as well.

Got the same issue as well

To fix this:

• find your index.js file ( should be somewhere like this - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-Lifx-lan)
• go to line 933 in a plain text editor (Atom works great but don't use the native text edit app)
• change "date.major ... data.minor" to firmware version 2.69
• save and restart HomeBridge

Here's a screenshot for visual folks

Noticed that homebridge would complain about the hardcoding of the firmware version. So tried I this and it worked. Instead of hardcoding the firmware version, just set the data.majorVersion and data.minorVersion instead. Now I don't get a home bridge complaint.

service.addCharacteristic(Characteristic.FirmwareRevision);
}
data.majorVersion = 4
data.minorVersion = 1
service.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.FirmwareRevision, data.majorVersion + "." + data.minorVersion);
