The original post is here (https://plus.google.com/+OliverHamilton/posts/QwY9WSzB3RG) but I'll copy it below and expand a little.
+Plex feature request: +LIFX integration.
Use case:
I link Lifx lights to a Chromecast and set default color and brightness levels for playback states.
Case1:
- I select the Chromecast in the lounge to cast to
- I have the overhead and behind TV bulbs linked to the lounge Chromecast via the Plex app
- Plex playing state = lights fade down to a low level (say 10%)
- Plex paused state = lights fade up to a brighter level (say 30%)
- Plex stopped state = lights fade up to a brighter level (say 60%)
Case2:
- I select Chromecast in the bedroom connected to a cheap low brightness projector
- I have just the 1 bulb in the bedroom linked to this Chromecast
- On connecting to bedroom Chromecast = Lifx fades down to low (20%)
- Plex playing state = lights fade down to zero (0%)
A reply from someone who sounds like they're involved with Lifx...
Nice idea +Oliver Hamilton! The good folk at +Plex should have no trouble doing this with our lovely new HTTP API (oAuth available on request) at:http://developer.lifx.com.
