lukas.polivka Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hello! Does anyone have any experience integrating a large-ish number of LIFX devices to Control4, say 64? Any trouble with that? Has anyone tested and compared both Chowmain's driver based on the cloud API vs. berto's driver based on the LAN API? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david@berto.co.uk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Lukas, I might be bias but I have 42 Lifx lights, mixture of colour and warm white, and performance seems fine. There were issues with the new Lifx firmware a few months ago which are addressed in the latest IOT Gateway and Light drivers. The response time improved, mainly due to the changes in the way Lifx handle the LAN conversation. I also have several users running in excess of 80 Tasmota devices and performance is fine using the IOT driver set. See https://berto.io/src/Berto_IOTGateway Am now working on supporting Shelly devices direct using CoAP and avoiding the need for the MQTT broker.

Perfect! We sell Shelly devices (mostly stand-alone, but sometimes a device or two can be added to Control4) so this is interesting for us too.
