lifx-emulator-core

Core Python library for emulating LIFX devices using the LAN protocol.

This package provides the embeddable library for creating virtual LIFX devices in your own projects. It implements the binary UDP protocol from the LIFX LAN Protocol specification.

Installation

pip install lifx-emulator-core

Quick Start

import asyncio
from lifx_emulator import EmulatedLifxServer, DeviceManager
from lifx_emulator.factories import create_color_light
from lifx_emulator.repositories import DeviceRepository

async def main():
    # Create devices
    devices = [
        create_color_light(serial="d073d5000001"),
        create_color_light(serial="d073d5000002"),
    ]

    # Create repository and manager
    repository = DeviceRepository()
    manager = DeviceManager(repository)

    # Start the emulator server
    server = EmulatedLifxServer(
        devices=devices,
        device_manager=manager,
        bind_address="127.0.0.1",
        port=56700,
    )

    await server.start()
    print("LIFX Emulator running on 127.0.0.1:56700")

    # Keep running until interrupted
    try:
        await asyncio.Event().wait()
    finally:
        await server.stop()

asyncio.run(main())
