LIFX + Fibaro Dimmer

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience with a Fibaro Dimmer and LIFX light bulb? I have a couple of dimmers installed and would like to replace my current bulbs with LIFX.
I know you can dim the LIFX lights with the app/LIFX plugin but I would still like to dim the bulbs with the wall switch.

Thanks,
W.

Re: LIFX + Fibaro Dimmer

I think this will be quite difficult but not impossible :)

The LIFX bulb needs 100% power the whole time. The dimming of the LIFX bulb is done internally within the bulb (on receipt of wi-fi signals) from the iOS app or my LIFX plugin. So you can't connect the LIFX bulb to the Fibaro dimming outputs.

I had looked at something like this previously - [ANSWERED]: Brighten/Dim - How To? - however I haven't implemented it (yet) as other priorities took over. Also with Indigo 7 just round the corner, it is just possible that this might be easier to do?

I think I will place the LIFX bulbs where I have normal relay switches installed.
