Description

The easiest yet most powerful way to control your Philips Hue lights and devices with you Mac. For Day-to-Day. For Pros.

The app integrates seamlessly into the menu bar (or can stay in the Dock), from where you can easily manage and control all your lights and other devices. New rooms, zones, lights, smart plugs, motion sensors, switches and status items can be added, renamed, rearranged, customized or hidden when not needed. All these functions work with Philips Hue Bridges (no Bluetooth support yet) and Phoscon deCONZ Bridges (e.g. Conbee). You can connect to multiple bridges.

All functions at a glance:
• Beautiful and intuitive user interface, available in two modes (Studio Mode and Menu Mode)
• Create, delete or simply recall rooms/zones, lights, smart plugs, scenes, motion sensors and switches
• Dim or switch rooms and zones
• Adjust color, saturation, and brightness (depending on light type) for all your lights using multiple color pickers
• Define or change rules and configurations for motion sensors and switches
• Hide unneeded groups and devices
• Re-sort groups and devices
• Automatically syncs with the Philips Hue mobile app
• Support for global hotkeys
• Support for Shortcut App
• Multi-Bridge support: Control multiple Philips Hue Bridges or Phoscon deCONZ Bridges simultaneously
• Hybrid user interface mode: Launch the app from the menu bar (Menu Mode and Studio Mode) or from the Dock (Studio Mode) - your choice
• Suggestions for new features and bugs can be reported directly to the developer

Ratings and Reviews

Unstable and bad user interface

I only gave this program 5 minutes. Strangely large latency when scrolling in the list of lights. graphic objects and texts end up on top of each other in this situation. Not a particularly pedagogic overview if you have a lot of lights. I my case approx 20. And, no, the interface is not very nice when the size of buttons is constantly changing based on the length of the lamp name. Had been better with a "mega menu" that sorted the lights into room columns, or something. Turning on and off a lamp took more time than taking out the cell phone from the pocket, and doing the same. When I tried to uninstall the program, I could not access the settings via the icon in the status list. It only worked the first time, then no more. So I had to forcibly quit the program via Activity Control and then delete it.
