*Lightfish PRE-RELEASE v0.2a*

Lightfish is a 3rd-party LIFX Smart-Lights control app for the Jolla Sailfish platform.

For the actual announcement, and feedback, please look here (G+)

 

PLEASE NOTE:
To run this app, you WILL need to change how your phone processes UDP BCAST message.
Execute "iwpriv wlan0 setMCBCFilter 1" on a command-line as root/su-devel on the phone to temporarily enable processing UDP BCAST.
For a more permanent solution, execute "mount -t ext4 -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p25 /persist", and then edit "/persist/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini", looking for "MCBCFilter" as per the temporary option.
Warning: Don't change things in the /persist folder unless you're sure what you are doing!

Brilliant - a LIFX setup has now been put on my must-have list.

Wow, that's great! I'm considering bying a LIFX lamp and I never thought I would have a native Sailfish app this soon!

Keep it up! :)

Fair warning: It isn't very good :)

You'll still need an Android or iOS phone to do the initial configuration of the LIFX bulbs - I may add this ability to the app at a later point, but for now it is a mission feature.
