Description
"all 4 hue" is the most comprehensive and best-rated app for Philips Hue. In addition to direct control of lights and rooms, this app is ideal for comprehensive automation of up to five Hue Bridges via timers, alarms and rules in combination with all available Philips Hue devices such as switches and sensors.
The app is available as a free version without ads but with some limitations. The free version can be used for unlimited time and can be used, among other things, to check whether the desired features are included. If you are satisfied, further functions in the app can be activated via one-time in-app purchases (no subscriptions!). This app is available in German and English. The app is continually being improved; since May 2015, more than 250 updates with new functions have been released at no additional charge.
Requirements:
- This app requires a Philips Hue Bridge V1 (round) or V2 (square).
- This app supports Philips Hue Tap, Dimmer, Smart Button, Tap Dial, motion, temperature and brightness sensors.
- This app supports the official Friends of Hue switches.
Limitations:
- This app can only be used within the local network, as Philips does not allow third-party apps to access the Hue Bridge from outside the local network without contractual regulations. The development team for this app is currently in contact with Philips to clarify the contract details so that remote access can perhaps be made available in the future.
If you have any suggestions or technical problems, the author would be happy to receive an email instead of a bad review. Reviews with 1 star without giving a reason or comment do not help to improve the app. Thank you!

Ratings and Reviews
Almost great and very advanced
Love all that this can achieve with the advanced rule making, but it’s missing one feature and it’s the ability to use the app remotely (rather then just locally) which the app called “Hue Essentials” is capable of.
As a auto off timer re-occurring among other great things
It’s fantastic okay it may not look that polished and it doesn’t have all them bells and whistles but so what because it’s got all what you need under it’s powerful Bonnet...
Whoever made this app as one great big IQ.. very clever person..
for example I need a hall way light to auto turn off, say after 2 minuets and I couldn’t find anything I tried ifttt and all the apps, yep I tried everything but this app as it all.. saddens me to see such negativity on the previous reviews because this is the best hue app on the market the other apps are just for show this app is actually really useful and it’s as things your be using again and again,
Most of these Philips hue apps are just to impress your shallow guests and silly friends with your meaningless flashing light Display but this is a serious practical app and a must for any hue user...
Powerful rule-based automation
Having invested in the Hue ecosystem my goal was to have a fully autonomous setup than responds intelligently to movement and light variation in multiple rooms.
Having tried many other apps I was about to give up hope of achieving this believing it was a limitation of the Hue Motion Sensors... until I stumbled upon this app! The rule-based approach unlocks huge potential in these sensors and has allowed me to quite quickly achieve a more intelligent setup.
Yes, it does require a little more time to understand how to get the most from the rules but the benefits are huge. If you’re looking for a powerful rule-based Hue app then definitely check this out.
