It provides both a command-line interface and programmatic API for discovering bulbs on a local network, turning them on/off, setting colors (by name or hex), applying preset or custom patterns, managing timers, and syncing device clocks. The library supports a range of device types from simple RGB controllers to ceiling lights and Christmas lights, with some models offering microphone-based music mode and remote administration.\n\nThe package depends on webcolors for named color support, typing_extensions for type hints, and async_timeout for asyncio operations. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.9 and later, and carries no known security vulnerabilities. The codebase acknowledges that the protocol implementation contains magic numbers and reverse-engineered logic, but reports functional coverage of most app features.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and provides solid coverage of Magic Home/Surp Life device control. The copyleft license is standard for this use case. Install if you own compatible Zengge bulbs and want programmatic or CLI control; skip if you only use the official app or have incompatible hardware."},"id":"flux-led","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flux-led","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flux-led.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flux-led/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"flux-led","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python library to communicate with the flux_led smart bulbs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":82626,"position":14151,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
