Presenting LIFXtend: Control your LIFX Light Bulbs with Windows
With LIFXtend you can control your LIFX light bulbs with windows.
It includes LIFXcl, a small command line tool to directly send commands to your bulbs.
LIFXtend is not yet compatible with firmware 2.0, so dont update your bulbs if you need LIFXtend. I am currently working on an update to ensure compatibility.
NOTE: Version 0.7.4 fixes a bug in LIFXcl, the rest stayed the same. If you didn't use LIFXcl you can ignore this update.
Download LIFXtend Version 0.7.4
NOTE: First install SLIM DX, then run setup (and read the readme).
New Feature: LIF.luX
You can specify bulbs which will change their color according to the time. You can set sunrise and sunset according to you location.
Your bulbs will be yellow/3000 kelvin before sunrise and after sunset. In between they will be a neutral white, or 6500 kelvin. The transition takes 30 minutes, and starts at the specified sunrise / sunset time.
LIFXtend can now update itself, so if I publish new minor versions, they will automatically be installed.

Issues:
You may have to set your resolution manually on high DPI screens for AmbientLIFX to work.
After using whites, the bulbs react very slowly if you want to use colors. After about ten seconds the bulbs react normally again.

DISCLAIMER: I have no reports of any damage happening to LIFX bulbs caused by using LIFXtend. Still, I can not guarantee anything. If you use LIFXtend, you are using it at your own risk. I take no responsibilities for any damage to your bulbs.
