What it is and what it does

aiolifx-themes is an async Python library that simplifies applying color themes to LIFX smart lights. It builds on top of aiolifx, the lower-level async LIFX control library, to provide a higher-level interface for theme-based lighting. The package is designed for developers who want to programmatically control LIFX lights with themed color schemes in async Python applications.

The library targets Python 3.12 and later and is actively maintained. It is typed and follows modern Python async conventions. The single runtime dependency on aiolifx keeps the install footprint minimal, and the pure-Python wheel distribution means no compilation is required.

Use it for:

  • Automate lighting scenes in a smart home by applying predefined color themes to LIFX bulbs
  • Build a dashboard or app that lets users switch between themed lighting profiles for different moods or activities
  • Integrate LIFX theme control into an async event-driven system or orchestration framework
  • Script batch theme application across multiple LIFX devices in a home or office

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Applies color themes to LIFX smart lights using async Python, wrapping the aiolifx library to simplify theme-based lighting control.

Yes, if you use LIFX lights and want async theme control in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive MIT license. The narrow scope (themes for LIFX only) and small user base (top 15000 tier) mean it is purpose-built rather than general-purpose, so install only if LIFX theming is your actual use case.

License in practice

MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute this package freely provided you include the license notice.

Quickstart

pip install aiolifx-themes

import aiolifx_themes
# Apply a theme to LIFX lights via the aiolifx async interface

Requires Python 3.12 or later; aiolifx must be installed and configured to communicate with LIFX devices on your network.

Verify before relying

  • What specific color themes are included or how themes are defined and applied
  • Whether the package provides a theme editor or only applies predefined themes
  • Performance characteristics when controlling many lights simultaneously
