Lightmote - Hue Light remote
Bluetooth widget, no bridge
Only for iPhone
$9.99 · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Switch your lights on, off, dimmer or brighter from your Home Screen. No bridge, no hub, no account, no subscription. One purchase. Works with Hue Bluetooth bulbs.
Requires Philips Hue Bluetooth bulbs (2019 or later). Bulbs made before 2019 are
Zigbee-only and will not connect.
Your Hue bulbs already have Bluetooth built in. Almost every other app still makes
you buy a Bridge before you can put a light switch on your Home Screen. LightMote
talks to your bulbs directly.
One purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, no cloud.
