This app solves a lot of the problems that controlling Hue lights with the Philips Hue app or Home app have, and it integrates some third-party products too. The thing that makes it worth the Pro subscription for me is the amazing widget support and really handy Apple Watch app. There is a simple complication for the watch faces that leads you to the app where you can control lights by room or group. People are pretty impressed when I control the lights with a few taps on my wrist, and every time I do that I feel like I’m living in the future. iConnect Hue makes some things possible that are either impossible or too hard to do with the Hue or Home apps. Animations, custom groupings that span rooms, “magic” scenes that let you change brightness or rearrange which lights get which color, third-party lights and switches in the same app, cleaning up old timers or phantom rooms/lights, entertainment scenes for parties, and more. I’ve tried many other apps that make big promises, but I keep coming back to iConnect Hue. The only thing that it doesn’t seem to do is control my Nanoleaf devices, but that’s not enough of a downside to make me change my rating from five to four stars. This app just works, and the author is continually improving it and adding features. I wish all my paid apps provided this much value.

Transforming Hue lights and Switches into magical devices

iConnectHue has completely transformed my Philips Hue lighting experience. Before using this app, I was content with the basic functionalities of the Hue system, but iConnectHue has unlocked a whole new world of possibilities. The ease of creating and controlling light groups has made managing my home’s lighting setup a breeze. The animations are a game changer – they bring life to every corner of my house with mesmerizing effects that are perfect for any mood or occasion.What truly sets iConnectHue apart is its unparalleled customization. The gradient color picker and the Magic Scenes feature have allowed me to personalize my lighting like never before, creating atmospheres that are uniquely mine. The flexibility in controlling devices, especially the enhanced options for switches and sensors, shows the depth of thought put into this app.Moreover, the app’s design is intuitive and user-friendly. Whether on my iPhone or iPad, controlling my lights has never been more seamless or enjoyable. The regular updates, each bringing new features and improvements, show a commitment to excellence and user satisfaction.
Easily the best app for Philips Hue
Whatknows101
This is easily the best app for controlling your Philips Hue lights! FAR better, even, than the app from Philips Hue! The ability to create scenes, animations, etc., makes it one or two touches to have your lights do exactly what you want them to do! The apartment I built doesn’t have windows, so I was looking to build a lighting system that could follow the sun in both brightness and color temperature in the built-in “windows” I created to emulate sunrise and sunset and all the stages of lighting throughout the day. The systems I was looking at were going to cost $2,000-$5,000! Then I found Philips Hue and this app. It allows me to do all of that and so much more. I now have my entire house automated with the Hue lights and accessories through this app. The addition of motion detectors and programming to control exactly what I want to happen is incredible. And when I want them to change to something different, one touch of the button is all it takes. Create zones, rooms......whatever you want and have it do whatever you want! Just a great app!!

This app is still super underrated and I can’t believe it doesn’t even have 1k reviews yet. I’m a pro member and have about 30 lights throughout my apartment. I reached out to the company at one point recommending something and they responded probably within the same day teaching me how to do exactly what I was recommending but didn’t know was already a capability. This app does take some playing around and figuring out at first, but it has endless capabilities with being able to create all your own content! I just had the new update installed and saw this new AI feature which I had my doubts about. I tried it 1 time and it created exactly what I’ve been looking for and trying to create on my own for a few weeks. I just wasn’t getting it perfect yet, but the AI got it done and I created a magic scene from that one AI creation. I love this feature!! Thank you guys for continuing to improve and develop this amazing app. I will be a pro member for life❤️💛💙💜💚🧡

Hey MegaGamerr, thank you very much for your great review, and we're happy to hear that AI generated Magic Scenes are the thing for you - and as a little secret we can share, we also will add more useful AI features like this soon.However, are you aware you accidentally hit only one star when sending your review? Hopefully you can change that, we'd be grateful!
New in iConnectHue 5.14
We have some firecrackers for you - on your lights AND with the app! Here we go:
- Pro: Hue Sync Box support -
iConnectHue now supports the Hue Sync Box - exclusively for Pro Members. The usual controls are easily accessible via the Dashboard, and we offer an exclusive feature: Presets!
Presets allow you to store your current settings for brightness, the Entertainment Zone, the vis mode and the intensity for easy recall, instead of always needing to set up everything manually.
This was a lot of work - not only to integrate, but also in the future to maintain and adapt over time as iOS and the Hue system evolve. Hence, this feature is available with a Pro Membership.
We likely will add more functionality in the future for the Sync Box, based on your feedback.
This is a beta feature! While we tested it extensively, we haven't yet had experience with it in the wider field. If you experience anything out of the ordinary, write us via the app, so we can improve it for you!
How to add your Sync Box: Go to "Devices" via the menu, select "+" on the top right and select to add a Sync Box.
(Exclusively available for Pro Members)
- Firework animations -
No smoke, no loud noises (your pets will aprove), but lots of visual fidelity!
They're free: This seasonal set is available until January 1. With a Membership, you'll have access to it throughout the entire year!
Remember: We also have two additional sets - "Happy new year!" and "Happy new yeah!".
With the animation upgrade, you can upload these animations to switches for instant replay, or run them with a timer to start them exactly when you need them!
- Other bright ideas -
* You can now edit the stop mode of Entertainment areas
* Better editing of Entertainment area in Discotainment Widget
* Updated device search wizard: You can also add new Bridges there by now
* We've polished a few things to make everything smooth for you
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
- We’d love your feedback! -
Enjoying the update? We worked hard to bring this to you — and your support keeps the lights on (literally)!
•• Give us five stars in the App Store! Even if you've rated before, a fresh review helps! ••
If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app under "Help & More"->Contact. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question? We also have an elaborate FAQ: https://iconnecthue.com/f-a-q/
Thanks for leaving the lights on!
