Use LifxLanDevice directly?

[MarcGodard]

Is it possible to store the device ip and mac then just make calls without the discovery process?

Will attempt it and report back.

Doesn't look possible without some reengineering of the lib.

No.
But that is a nice idea.
I'll put the idea to my to-do-list.
Thank you for your feedback.

@futomi Thanks, I think its a good idea, discovering can take a while sometime, and you have to wait till it finds an already known device.

If I can help with anything let me know. I have a cool app I am working on that could use this feature.

Also thinking of another app to run on the kodi system that will make the lights match the average colors of the movie playing... I think that might make it more of an immersive experience while watching tv and just be awesome.

I newly added the createDevice() method to the LifxLan object. This method allows you to obtain the LifxLanDevice object without the discovery process if you have already known the IPv4 address and the MAC address of the targeted device.

I hope that this method satisfies your demand.

@futomi Awesome, thank you very much. This saves me some effort.
