Will we get an update on this ever?

Just wondering if this project is still alive.

I’m guessing it is dead

Considering LIFX bulbs support HomeKit natively now, it's unsurprising this project isn't being updated.

Only newer bulbs support HomeKit. LIFX screwed us over by not allowing older bulbs to support HomeKit despite Apple changing stance and making it a software integration as opposed to the original "you must buy HomeKit chips from us."

I'm a bit gutted this project is dead to be honest.

I moved over to using @ccaum branch

@Troubadoure Feel free to use my fork, but just to set expectations, I have no intention to maintain that fork at all. I’ve moved to just using native homekit.

@twistedpixel if you want something that's maintained, consider setting up a Home Assistant instance and using it's HomeKit bridge to expose your LIFX bulbs.

this is the best solution. my rpi is now a home assistant hub and will communicate with LIFX lights. then using homekit bridge, LIFX lights are showing in Apple Home app.

thanks again @Djelibeybi for the suggestion

@rursache you're welcome, glad to hear it's working for you.
