State changes are not propagated to iOS devices

[blubber]

When the bulbs state is changed from another iOS device or the LIFX app the new state is not reflected in HomeKit on iOS devices. As an example, the event handler for common.EventUpdateColor calls:

hkLight.light.SetHue(hue)
hkLight.light.SetSaturation(saturation)
hkLight.light.SetBrightness(int(brightness))

which updates the bulbs state in HomeKit, but the change is not reflected on iOS devices. Not sure if this is a bug in hklifx or HomeControl.

After some more investigating I found out that changes made on iOS devices are reflected on other iOS devices. The only changes that are not reflected in HomeKit are changes made from the LIFX app (or other apps that use the LAN protocol.)

I made a small program that just dumps all events to stdout using golifx, and it seems that the power events aren't reliably received by golifx, at least not when I have 4 bulbs online. With one bulb online it seems to work, although this result preliminary.

@blubber if you suspect an issue with golifx, please file an issue there. I've just released v0.5.1 of golifx, so you may want to perform your tests against that.

At the time I wasn't quite sure about the cause of the problem, but I might give it another go.

Was this ever fixed?

Anyone still has this issue?
