UDP 56700
Synopsis
- UDP port 56700 is used by the LIFX LAN Protocol for discovery and control of LIFX Wi‑Fi smart lighting on local networks. Real-world devices include LIFX A19/BR30/Mini bulbs, LIFX Z LED strips, and LIFX Beam panels. The official LIFX mobile apps (iOS/Android) and desktop tools communicate with bulbs via UDP/56700, using broadcast discovery and unicast control messages. Home automation software such as Home Assistant (LIFX integration), openHAB (LIFX binding), and libraries like lifxlan (Python) also use UDP/56700 to manage LIFX devices locally. No other common, non-LIFX uses are widely documented.
