Can I connect a LIFX bulb to a WiFi router without a smartphone app?

Oh I also forgot to mention that the Alljoyn compatible bulbs, can be onboarded using the Alljoyn protocol which is open and available to anyone.

We are always expanding and improving the LAN API documentation that we have. At the moment there are no plans to document the onboarding protocol.

HTTP/HTML endpoints are unlikely to be added for the current products. You can control the light using our HTTP API if you wish, but this uses the LIFX Cloud so it doesn’t work until the lights have been connected with the applications.
