Control Multiple Groups of LIFX Bulbs as a Single Device You will find that your groups will become much more reliable.
Using LGoG you send a single command to LIFX and they in turn send a single command to your bulbs.
Weather you do it one by one manually, use a syncing app, or use CoRE, you are sending 10 commands to LIFX and then 10 commands back to your bulbs. If you use the standard bulbs that ST gives you, if you want to turn them all on you have to turn 10 bulbs on. Let’s say you have a kitchen which as 10 LIFX bulbs in it. Why is this better? It is more efficient.
Configure the device, add a single group or multiple groups. Generate and API key, instructions below. Yea, I know you can’t have a bulb in multiple groups, but LGoG fixes that! Create the groups of lights in your LIFX app. Before LGoG you had to either download a SmartApp that would watch your bulbs and update the status of some of your bulbs based on the status of a master bulb or control them through CoRE (which you can still do with LGoG, however you are stuck selecting multiple lightbulbs. If you have 1 bulb, this is likely just fine for you, however if you have many bulb, specifically bulbs you would like to control as a single device you are out of luck. By default, using the LIFX (Connect) app that comes with SmartThings all of your light bulbs will get added to SmartThings. )This capability is the primary reason I created LGoG. This way you will see all of the lights change at the same time, not one by one. (Note: LGoG does not sync your bulbs, it communicates directly with LIFX to control them as a single group.
