Almost a decade later, finally, a new app icon, designed and donated by Josh Miller (jmil.au)

- Support for the new Hue Bridge Pro - Fixed an issue with devices names in foreign languages - Scheduling darkness works again

I got your e-mails and decided to add back the ability to donate. The app remains completely free — any support is totally optional. Thank you!

Bugfixes: Weird color behaviour on dark/light macOS themes Great connectivity/first connection improvements. Using mDNS/Bonjour for discovery now. App renamed to proper title. Hopefully this does not mess with the auto start.

Bugfix: The lamp selection in the settings screen was randomly broken. Should work now!

- Added improved support for Scenes (per room) - Finally fixed: a crash on Big Sur, trying to open the Settings - Support for Zones can be enabled in settings now. - Some buttons had a weird tappable area (very small), fixed. - Menu icons are now (finally) Retina-resolution - Adjusted some color clarity (using macOS accent color) - Removed confusing icons, back to text at the top (did you prefer the icons? Reach out!)

- Fixed a bug with the groups panel reordering constantly - Fixed an issue where temperature-controlled lights were incorrectly identified as color lights

Fixed a small bug that caused the app to crash for some users and cleaned up a few other things. No new features for this release, but worth upgrading regardless! I am still looking for beta testers, reach out to us if you want to test an earlier version occasionally (contact detail should be on this page)

MAJOR UPDATE — please read the information below carefully. This version could be slightly buggier than usual due to the connectivity rewiring I've had to work through. Send your feedback and I can fix anything that acts up rather quickly. If you want to help as a BETA tester, please reach out — I can desperately use your help. - The entire connectivity/networking had to be rewritten due to some upcoming macOS changes and to make it more reliable in general. If you experience any troubles, please reach out to me at support@huemenu.app and I'll fix it in the next release. I can also get you a custom version so you don't have to wait on a fix for too long. There's some new features: - You can now drag-resize the height of app (and it should remember the sizes for lights, groups and scenes accordingly) - You can re-order lights and disable individual lights if you don't want to see them - There's a feature to turn lights off after a delay, and many, many more small feature updates like this - Step size for keyboard shortcuts can be fine-tuned a bit more now - Decreasing the light via keyboard shortcuts now completely turns it off when 0 is reached - Improved icons, you can now pick a different app icon in the settings Thanks to everyone who reached out to help, especially with localization. If you want to help Beta test new features (it can run alongside the official version), please reach out at support@huemenu.app and I will get you on that list.

Happy New Year! This version arrives with some much-asked-for updates! If you have trouble with any of the changes (or feel they were too much), please reach out and I'll make sure to fix it in the next version. - Hotkeys are now supported, and you can set up a few custom keyboard shortcuts for various group on/off and light on/off scenarios. - You can disable (hide) certain lights from the main menu, if you don't want to see them. Go to Settings / Lights and configure this any way you like. - You can now enable SCENES as a third menu (next to Lights and Groups). Go to Settings / Advanced / Show Scene Panel and enable it. May not work perfectly yet (first attempt!). - To make room, I had to replace the LIGHTS / GROUPS / SCENES buttons with icons. Big mistake? Or much better? Send feedback! - An issue has been fixed for Hue Bridge v1 users, where certain lights didn't show up correctly (no color bar detected). - Another issue showed a color bar for a group/room, even if the room had only ambient lights. This is hopefully fixed now. I don't have a team of testers helping me to avoid breaking things with new updates, so if anything fails or goes wrong — it should take about 24 hours for an update to arrive. Simply reach out over the feedback form and I'll have a fixed beta ready for you very quickly, usually. There are still occasional issues with some off-brand lights, if you send a quick e-mail, then I can make sure to add support in the next release.

- Allows to change color of entire rooms now (can be disabled) - Updated the settings menu and user interface

Connection issues are fixed! If you had a Hue Light Strip, then you may have experienced connectivity issues to the bridge. This should (finally!) be resolved now. Ability to send debugging information to us You may have a device that has not been tested with the app yet. You can send us debugging information if you have problems connecting. Help and Feedback Links If you right click on the Hue in the Menu icon, you can send us feedback, or browse through our help to see if we can help resolve the issue. Smaller improvements The app is a bit snappier now, and the connection process has been reworked slightly to be a bit more stable, hopefully.
