LiFX Globes + Hue Switch

[David_Neilson]

Wondering if there is a rough timeline, to be able to control LiFX Globes from a Hue switch?? - I picked up some LiFX globes cheapish (to replace an older Osram Lightify globe that was starting to flicker) - but cannot add it to the Hue Switch

It is not possible at the moment. Hue switches cannot control other devices. See the following related topic:

Notifications upon dimmer press? Ifttt

Unfortunately the Hue bridge cannot send commands to other devices. So that means the Hue dimmer switch can only control devices connected to the same Hue bridge like lights. An alternative solution could be to continuously poll the Hue bridge, but that will have a delay and will slow down the Hue bridge. This is something Philips Hue would need to add support for first.
