Dev Team lets Talk about the LIFX Switch
One of the more mature Python implementations is Photons to which I am a contributor. Another is aiolifx to which I am also a contributor.

Are LIFX themes' RGB or HSV values clearly available anywhere?
A couple of these got close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs5FKsPlnw0 but not really (https://github.com/delfick/photons/blob/main/modules/photons_canvas/animations/registered/color_cycle.py)
- Bask in the Glow

Basic questions about the Switch
Not with the LIFX app, but you could use the empty relays to trigger things with Home Assistant relatively easily by leveraging Photons Interactor.

Lifx Downlight Colour Firmware Update
yeah, I made photons.delfick.com :)

Way to program custom effects on LIFX bulbs?
Yeah, probably something like this example https://github.com/delfick/photons/blob/main/examples/cycle_rainbow.py (though I prefer writing scripts using the task system, but this is one of my examples showing how to skip that)

LIFX LAN Help
Photons is really useful for this. If you run lifx lan:attr _ GetService --debug it will output the packets it sends and receives in hex.

Dev Team lets Talk about the LIFX Switch
I'm also the maintainer of aiolifx-themes which provides theme support to Home Assistant. And I'm one of the code owners of the core LIFX integration for Home Assistant too.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing photons and aiolifx-themes you can also consider the following projects:
Home Assistant - :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.
BeamPay - Beampay is a payment processor that allows for easy integration with your online store to automatically manage all your transactions. Beampay is already integrated and on display at store.beamprivacy.community.
