LIFX Access token

Please read this authentication page first Create the folder ~/.lifx. Change the modifications to 700 so that no one else on your computer can read it.

mkdir --mode=700 ~/.lifx

Then add in a file to this directory named 'lifx.yaml' and update accordingly. You may copy the file in templates for convenience.

$ cat ~/.lifx/lifx.yaml
access-token: <insert access token here>
groups:
  <name of your work room>:
    id: <group id>
    name: <group name>

Getting the credentials for the above yaml file:

Head to the LIFX API ENDPOINTS PAGE and head down to 'Try It Out'.
Insert 'all' into the selector page and your access token as the authorization key.
Click 'Try it' and head to the 'group' section.
<group id> should become the value under group -> id.
<group name> should become the value under group -> name.
<name of your work room> itself is arbitrary and can be named to something convenient.
