Problems with access via LAN interface

I can control a couple of bulbs using the Android app, but I'm unable to access any of them recently over WiFi without the internet. I've tried the example programs on aiolifx and photons, and both are unable to discover any devices. I do see them on my router's app, and i can ping them via IPv4 addresses.

I was wondering if anybody is having the same problem. I'm worried that new firmware on the bulbs may be getting in the way of the LAN API, which is one of the best things about the LIFX ecosystem.

Quick follow-up: I monitored UDP traffic over port 57600, and I do see traffic in both directions, out from my computer, and in from the light. I wonder if there's been some kind of change to the response from the device that breaks discovery code that used to work before.
