Figured out a complex but reliable way to control LIFX bulbs, without having to wait 15 minutes for IFTTT to update to a DropBox change. Since my system already uses an android device (with a Kinect) to listen to certain commands and pass them along via Tasker, I added the Tasker plugin to Homeseer so it can send commands back. And then the free LIFX plugins that are available can actually trigger the lighting (Homeseer sends a command as a toast notification containing specific code words to the android device, Tasker responds to the notification and changes the bulb). So no more waiting, and no more grabbing my phone or tablet to change the lighting.
