Scenes & effects
Create the perfect ambience from your photos or the included photo library. Experience special animations like lava, fireplace, fireworks, or lightning.

Wake up at sunrise and go to sleep at sunset with fading lights.

Get into the party on the beats of your music. Sync your lights for a night of disco with strobe effects (updates 25 times/sec).

Quick access
Create rooms and groups to organise your lights. You can even put a light in several groups.

Smart lights & controls
The unique ‘Touchlink’ search allows you to find new (3rd party, Zigbee) lights. Use included wizards for easy setup of your devices.

You can set scenes, actions, or even multiple scenes on a button to make your switch a real investment. Experience the right ambience during different times of your day with your motion sensor. All of your creations are stored on the bridge. Easy for you and your family.

Advanced
Automation lets you have greater control of your smart home. Turn the lights on when the door opens. Adjust your ventilation when the humidity gets too high. Open or close blinds and curtains based on temperature or sunshine.

Make it look like you are at home using 'Away from Home' (out of home control).

Communicate directly with your Hue bridge using the API debugger. View technical details of your Hue bridge and update its resources like lights and sensors.

Fantastic app

I really don’t understand the low star reviews. This is a great app and better than the default Hue app.

Dies when i check "About Hue Essentials"

When I click on "About Hue Essentials" I get an error dialog with the message...

Invalid destination: a@488f746

Just how can any app be on the store when they haven't even checked this? Should I check for more? Why bother if the developer can't even be bothered checking for this.

Awful

Buggy. Controls don’t respond properly. $10 doesn’t include multi bridge but is written in a way that doesn’t make that clear. Rip off. Avoid.
