lightsd acts a central point of control for your LIFX WiFi bulbs. lightsd should be a small, simple and fast daemon exposing an easy to use protocol inspired by how musicpd works.

Having to run a daemon to control your LIFX bulbs may seem a little bit backward but has some advantages:

• no discovery delay ever, you get all the bulbs and their state right away;
• lightsd is always in sync with the bulbs and always knows their state;
• lightsd act as an abstraction layer and can expose new discovery mechanisms and an unified API across different kind of smart bulbs;
• For those of you with a high paranoia factor, lightsd let you place your bulbs in a totally separate and closed network.
