HERO LIGHTING
Our Hue light scenes have cinematic flair. Music sound tracks set the mood while our an animation engine delivers bursts of light and sound where anything can happen. Santa lands on your house! Zombies attack! You are in a spaceship battle!
Other light scenes transport you to a Lush Forest, Venice or even Deep Space to chill out in the Orion Nebula listening to superb ambient electronic music.
CREATIVE LIGHTING
OnSwitch gives you smarter, clearer ways to control your smart lights. Instead of guessing what Hue's "Light Recipes" mean, our Everyday Lighting album presents gorgeous photos of antique and halogen bulbs or a skylight so it's clear what kind of light you are going to get. Our fluorescent tube even flickers on like the real thing!

Ratings and Reviews
Great app
This is probably the best app for Hue we have had Hue for 5 years & we have over 100 Hue bulbs, love them but have to spread them over 3 hubs & can’t get one app to work them all nor can I use 2 devices to control one hub for long, one major thing One Switch is missing is the alarm function Sunrise / Sunset especially come on guys get this added to keep it number 1
Great for colour flow! Please add Siri shortcuts!
I love the scenes for parties etc as they really do let you get the most out of your lights, especially if you have a lot of them. I wish that some of the abilities such as colour flows were built in to the hue/home app itself.
Unfortunately, to set the scenes you have to go through the app on your phone/iPad, this means that I don’t use it as much as I wish I could. I would love to see Siri shortcuts compatibility so that I can ask Siri to ‘cycle bedroom lights’ and have the lights flow through different colours or say ‘set office skylight’ to have the office lights mimic natural sunlight with the sun occasionally passing behind a cloud. This would make me use the functionality so much more and make me more inclined to buy more of the scenes.
Good effects but far too expensive
I’ve used this app for a while and kept hoping for an opportunity to purchase everything. Nice and simple. But after recommending this as an option, I now see that is available. Great, but the price!! £34 per year (and due to go up tomorrow). Wow - if it had been available and I’d purchased at the start of using this app I would have spent approx £200 to date!! I can see the work that has gone into some of the effects (although many are very similar) and I don’t expect them for free but I find 34pa far too steep. Also I don’t like subscription based pricing. 5 stars for content but reduced to 2 stars due to cost which rules me out still.
Developer Response ,
Hi Jlbijb, thank you for your review. And your extended comments. It’s valuable to hear what you think.
First, very important, you can always get a refund from apple on any recent purchase from http://reportaproblem.apple.com. So if you didn’t get great value from your OnSwitch purchase we encourage you to do that.
Our release notes listed the compatible AirPlay2 SONOS speakers. If you have one of those, AirPlay2 support is available through the same command-center / music widget UI where you switch headphones or other sound output devices. We didn’t get a sound output selector into the app itself because we responded to customer requests to have it by Halloween so we kept the implementation lean. The feature work was accomplished in days so that we could pull off a “Halloween Surprise” for our enthusiastic user-base. We’ll do the sound picker later which should remove the discoverability issues.
We’re working on pricing options that give greater access to the content. Target is Christmas.
Access to dimming on group list is a possibility in the future. We are definitely considering it.
Again, thanks for using OnSwitch! We’ll take your experience into consideration as we move this product forward.
