The suggestion came from Lifx diagnosis.
diagnosis of what - they seem like idiots if they can not tell you exactly what is failing.. Do you have a lifx hub? Pretty much all of their devices require a hub of their making.. You said you tried it at someone elses house and it fails - do they also have pfsense?
Maybe the bulb is just bad, I have had smart bulbs fail..
What specific bulb do you have? I have many smart bulbs, different brands - While I use their app to add the bulb to the network - once its added alexa controls them.
If it just a wifi bulb, I believe lifx has started making those that don't require a hub to onboard via an app. I have never thought lifx was a good fit because of their hub requirement in the past.. But if they are moving away from that I might take a look into them - but their pricing has never been very good compared to other choices.
but unless you have put in some soft of filtering, its not a pfsense problem - maybe you have AP isolation setup on your AP that prevents wireless devices from talking to each other - like your app on your phone trying to talk to the bulb. Most of them also support a direct method where you connect to a wifi network the bulb creates after doing a specific set of power on/off things.. You would have to read the manual on how to do what with lifx, if they support it?
Most every bulb I have seen requires a 2.4ghz network, and your app needs to be on the same wifi network when you add the device. And your wifi can not be doing isolation.. But if you have some default setup of pfsense - its not going to be doing any filtering, so no need to "whitelist" anyway.. And if some support said to whitelist they would of meant outbound from your network.. But pfsense out of the box does not filtering - so everything is "whitelisted"
