Pretty sweet so far, love that the app lives in the task bar. I would give it 4 or 5/5 if you also supported color changing and sound changing support. I have my LIFX bulb in my office and would love for it to change to the computer speakers.

Description
With Switch for LIFX, you can turn On or Off any of your LIFX lightbulbs, set color for your lightbulbs. The App will automatically find all your LIFX devices in your local network.
New version 1.1 support auto color change according to sound / music rhythm from your Mac microphone, and you can change the color for each musical note.
* If you start the App first, then power on/off the lightbulbs, the App may need several seconds to detect that change. And if the lightbulb just power on, that may need several seconds to connect to your local WIFI, then the App can detect it. So its better always use App to power on/off lightbulbs.
* The App can only control lightbulbs in the same network with your Mac.

Pretty sweet
Perfect
What a great controller for my bulb. Look in the second image at the 5 different buttons above the color wheel that represent other color selection menus. There are various sliders, color lists, a spectrum box, and a crayon box menu. It is better than I expected. Control the whites by setting the color to white and then going back to the main window and adjusting the Kelvin slider.
Exactly what I needed, but can’t be used remotely
I have no idea why Lifx itself hasn’t released a similar application. This is perfect for local use — that is, on the Wifi network where the bulbs are installed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work when you are not on the same Wifi network as the bulbs. It can’t discover remote bulbs.
