The `lifx` integration allows you to integrate your [LIFX](https://www.lifx.com) bulbs into Home Assistant.
The LIFX integration automatically discovers [LIFX](https://www.lifx.com) bulbs on your network and adds them to Home Assistant.

## Light effects
The LIFX platform supports several light effects. You can start these effects with default options by using the `effect` attribute of the normal [`light.turn_on`](/integrations/light/#service-lightturn_on) service, for example like this:

### Troubleshooting discovery
## Troubleshooting Discovery
### Lights
Automated discovery of LIFX bulbs relies on Home Assistant having a [network interface](/integrations/network) connected to the same subnet as your LIFX bulbs. If you use a segregated IoT network to which Home Assistant is not directly connected, use the manual configuration method documented above to bypass discovery.
If you have multiple network interfaces, ensure that the interface connected to the same subnet as your LIFX bulbs is enabled in Home Assistant's [network configuration](/integrations/network).
### Switches
If your switch is not automatically discovered or you get a "_Cannot add pairing as device can no longer be found_" error
during the config process, [reboot your LIFX Switch](https://support.lifx.com/troubleshooting-switch-Hk6RWujLd) as they
