 PHP client library for the LIFX API (v1) -- by, [Chris Kankiewicz](https://www.ChrisKankiewicz.com) ([@PHLAK](https://twitter.com/PHLAK))

---

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

LIFX Client is a LIFX API client library for PHP built with GuzzleHttp.

Refer to the full [LIFX API documentation](https://api.developer.lifx.com)for more information about each method and it's available parameters.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [PHP](https://php.net) >= 7.1

Install with Composer
---------------------

[](#install-with-composer)

```
composer require phlak/lifx-client
```

Initializing the Client
-----------------------

[](#initializing-the-client)

First, import LIFX:

```
use PHLAK\LIFX;
```

Then instantiate the class with your LIFX OAuth 2 access token. You can generate an access token from your [account settings](https://cloud.lifx.com/settings)page:

```
$lifx = new LIFX\Client('YOUR_APP_TOKEN');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

List one or more lights via a selector:

```
$lifx->listLights($selector = 'all');
```

Set the state of one or more lights via a selector:

```
$lifx->setState($selector, array $params);
```

Set multiple states across multiple selectors:

```
$lifx->setStates(array $states, array $defaults = []);
```

Toggle the power of one or more lights via a selector:

```
$lifx->togglePower($selector, $duration = 1);
```

Cause one or more lights to breathe via a selector:

```
$lifx->breatheEffect($selector, $color, array $params = []);
```

Cause one or more lights to pulse via a selector:

```
$lifx->pulseEffect($selector, $color, array $params = []);
```

Make the light(s) cycle to the next or previous state in a list of states:

```
$lifx->cycle($selector, array $states, array $params = []);
```

Get a list of available scenes:

```
$lifx->listScenes();
```

Activate a scene:

```
$lifx->activateScene($sceneUuid, $duration = 1.0);
```

Validate a color string:

```
$lifx->validateColor($string);
```

Handling Exceptions
-------------------

[](#handling-exceptions)

```
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

try {
    $lifx->togglePower('id:123456789abcd');
} catch (ClientException $exception) {
    // Handle this exception here...
}
```

See the [GuzzleHttp exceptions](http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/quickstart.html#exceptions)documentation for more details.
