So I seem to have a knack for finding and using things that are outside of the box. We have gotten a few LIFX bulbs and like them over the Hue's . There were a few probing discussions in the forums back in 2015 when the bulbs were first release but I haven't seen anything since. I like them because they are wifi based and dont need a hub. From research people have no problem scaling other than their WAP being able to handle hundreds of devices (all solvable with some network planning). 
What would be the chances of adding LIFX to the queue for driver development? They have both an API for communication with their cloud, and a LAN Protocol to communicate directly with the bulbs. The LAN protocol is what got me excited and to grab one to try it, just one more item that can function without the cloud.

I'm willing to help however I can.
