more This app solves a lot of the problems that controlling Hue lights with the Philips Hue app or Home app have, and it integrates some third-party products too. The thing that makes it worth the Pro subscription for me is the amazing widget support and really handy Apple Watch app. There is a simple complication for the watch faces that leads you to the app where you can control lights by room or group. People are pretty impressed when I control the lights with a few taps on my wrist, and every time I do that I feel like I’m living in the future. iConnect Hue makes some things possible that are either impossible or too hard to do with the Hue or Home apps. Animations, custom groupings that span rooms, “magic” scenes that let you change brightness or rearrange which lights get which color, third-party lights and switches in the same app, cleaning up old timers or phantom rooms/lights, entertainment scenes for parties, and more. I’ve tried many other apps that make big promises, but I keep coming back to iConnect Hue. The only thing that it doesn’t seem to do is control my Nanoleaf devices, but that’s not enough of a downside to make me change my rating from five to four stars. This app just works, and the author is continually improving it and adding features. I wish all my paid apps provided this much value.
Developer Response Hello Banjor_,thank you for the very detailed review and your support via the Pro-Membership!We are happy to hear that you enjoy our app this much.It is made for people who want to control every aspect of their system, be it with switches, the app, widgets or the watch.It seems you are a perfect match for our target audience!Concerning the Nanoleaf devices: Thanks for writing us about your wish. We understand that this might be something some people want to do, at the same time Nanoleaf devices work totally different and may not be able to support several aspects we currently can offer with Hue. But please, contact us directly from the app and let us know which aspects you’d like to control of your Nanoleaf devices, so we have a better understanding. Thanks!Once again, thank you for your review!Kind regards,Your iConnectHue-Team!

iConnectHue has completely transformed my Philips Hue lighting experience. Before using this app, I was content with the basic functionalities of the Hue system, but iConnectHue has unlocked a whole new world of possibilities. The ease of creating and controlling light groups has made managing my home’s lighting setup a breeze. The animations are a game changer – they bring life to every corner of my house with mesmerizing effects that are perfect for any mood or occasion.What truly sets iConnectHue apart is its unparalleled customization. The gradient color picker and the Magic Scenes feature have allowed me to personalize my lighting like never before, creating atmospheres that are uniquely mine. The flexibility in controlling devices, especially the enhanced options for switches and sensors, shows the depth of thought put into this app.Moreover, the app’s design is intuitive and user-friendly. Whether on my iPhone or iPad, controlling my lights has never been more seamless or enjoyable. The regular updates, each bringing new features and improvements, show a commitment to excellence and user satisfaction.

This is easily the best app for controlling your Philips Hue lights! FAR better, even, than the app from Philips Hue! The ability to create scenes, animations, etc., makes it one or two touches to have your lights do exactly what you want them to do! The apartment I built doesn’t have windows, so I was looking to build a lighting system that could follow the sun in both brightness and color temperature in the built-in “windows” I created to emulate sunrise and sunset and all the stages of lighting throughout the day. The systems I was looking at were going to cost $2,000-$5,000! Then I found Philips Hue and this app. It allows me to do all of that and so much more. I now have my entire house automated with the Hue lights and accessories through this app. The addition of motion detectors and programming to control exactly what I want to happen is incredible. And when I want them to change to something different, one touch of the button is all it takes. Create zones, rooms......whatever you want and have it do whatever you want! Just a great app!!
Developer Response Dear Whatknows101,thank you very much for your positive and detailled review!We are happy to hear that you enjoy our app so much :)That is one interesting project you have created within the Hueniverse- congrats and thank you for sharing!In case there are some features you would like to see in the app we are happy to listen! Please go to "Contact" in the menu, and then "I have a suggestion". Thanks!Best regards,Your iConnectHue Team

I love this app and it’s one of the few that I happily choose to pay an annual subscription for (of course I pay for some subscriptions, just not very happily). I probably don’t use more than a quarter of its features, but I want to support them and make sure they continue to operate and keep making this app better and better. I have used it absolutely daily since 2015, as my stock of hue lights went from three to more than 30. It’s simply the best and most intuitive one I’ve used. Plus they are a great little company that never stops innovating, and in my direct experience is 100% responsive to customer inquiries and issues. You just can’t beat that, and you just can’t expect every part of what they do for a living to be offered for free. So I pay for it, and every year or two when they drop a major release, I update my review. I do that for exactly 2 apps on the well over 200 apps on my iPhone. So make of that what you will.

New in iConnectHue 5.18
- Support for Sync Box 4k and Play Screen Sync -
iConnectHue now supports these new Sync devices, including the use of Presets with them, so you can store your favourite settings for quick later recall.
In addition to this, you can now toggle the background lighting mode in their settings, to keep a minimum brightness for dark scenes on your TV in the respective device's settings.
Please note that our Sync support is still in Beta. We are now confident that it should work for everybody, but are still polishing details.
(Available with Pro Membership)
- Halloween Animations available -
Our yearly Halloween treat is back for everybody - and we've added two new ones: "Ghostly" and "Thriller".
12 spooky Animations are available now until mid of November. Enjoy!
Hint: If you have Nanoleaf panels, connect them - you can run these Animations on them as well! (Pro)
(Available until mid Nov, full year for Memberships)
- Other bright ideas -
* We've updated several aspects of the Watch app - if it doesn't show up, try to add it again from your phone's Watch app;
* If the Watch complication doesn't appear, edit your Watch face and select it again
* Please keep your watchOS up to date: We only support current and previous versions, so have at least watchOS 26 soon to be able to keep using the Watch app
* Several detail improvements to make your life easier
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
- We’d love your feedback! -
Enjoying the update? We worked hard to bring this to you — and your support keeps the lights on (literally)!

* Updated Watch App for iOS 27 - if it's not properly updated by watchOS, try to reinstall it via the iPhone's Watch app

** iConnectHue: Nanoleaf and Hue in one app! **
iConnectHue joins both worlds and lets you control your Nanoleaf lights in one app - no separate hardware required!
It supports not only Nanoleaf Shapes, but also Aurora, Canvas, Elements and Lines.
Thanks to ChromaSense, colors are calibrated between them and match as closely as possible across all devices - including your iPhone and iPad.
Here's what you can do:
* Control them via the Dashboard
* Set colors and gradients
* Start and control Animations
* Play with Magic Scenes
* Discover & set up in devices
Currently supported Nanoleaf devices: Aurora, Canvas, Shapes, Elements & Lines. No Bridge or other additional hardware is required.
What this is:
* A Tech Preview - well tested, but only with a small audience
* Control when at home - no remote access available
What this is not:
* Not a Nanoleaf-only app - you still need to connect your Hues
* Not all possible features available yet, e.g. no device scenes nor Discotainment
* No control via Hue hardware, like switches
* No final form - may change the way it works, may even be removed, based on what comes out
Current plans are to improve Nanoleaf support over time, based on outcomes and your feedback.
(Available with Pro Membership)
** Other bright ideas **
* We have improved Pro's daylight mode (daylight based on your time and location), it should be now more true to the day's light (not considering clouds or pollution)
* Direct light timer access from a light's menu (...) in the light list
* You can now search for scenes in the scene list
* Several detail improvements to make your life easier
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!

* Small changes & improvements
New in iConnectHue 5.16
- Support for wired Wall Switch Modules -
iConnectHue now supports as first 3rd party app wired Hue Wall Switch Modules.
This is great news, because you can configure them as you like:
* Flexible manual and automatic setup
* Use ALL actions you know from iConnectHue, like
* Switching lights and groups
* Scenes, Magic Scenes and Animations
* Launch instant timers
* Blink lights
* ... and more!
The new wired Wall Switch Modules don't need a battery and instead get their supply from mains - no battery replacement - ever! These are the available variants, currently solely available in Europe:
* Wired module w/o any additional functions
* Wired module w/ one dimmer channel
* Wired modules w/ either one or two toggle channels
All of these modules will behave like the original battery modules, with the addition that the ones with channels ALSO allow you to integrate existing lights or applicances that were originally toggled with your switch.
(Available with Membership or 2026 Upgrade)
- New Widget action -
We've teached the Widget a new trick: You can now toggle the Hue MotionAware Area with it. Handy for situations where you're not moving enough, but still need your lights.
(Available with Membership or 2026 Upgrade)
- Other bright ideas -
Again we've touched the app in several places to make your life and the app easier

5.16.2 Jul 29
New in iConnectHue 5.16
- Support for wired Wall Switch Modules -
iConnectHue now supports as first 3rd party app wired Hue Wall Switch Modules.
This is great news, because you can configure them as you like:
* Flexible manual and automatic setup
* Use ALL actions you know from iConnectHue, like
* Switching lights and groups
* Scenes, Magic Scenes and Animations
* Launch instant timers
* Blink lights
* ... and more!
The new wired Wall Switch Modules don't need a battery and instead get their supply from mains - no battery replacement - ever! These are the available variants, currently solely available in Europe:
* Wired module w/o any additional functions
* Wired module w/ one dimmer channel
* Wired modules w/ either one or two toggle channels
All of these modules will behave like the original battery modules, with the addition that the ones with channels ALSO allow you to integrate existing lights or applicances that were originally toggled with your switch.
(Available with Membership or 2026 Upgrade)
- New Widget action -
We've teached the Widget a new trick: You can now toggle the Hue MotionAware Area with it. Handy for situations where you're not moving enough, but still need your lights.
(Available with Membership or 2026 Upgrade)
- Other bright ideas -
Again we've touched the app in several places to make your life and the app easier
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
- We’d love your feedback! -

5.15.1:
* Housekeeping
New in iConnectHue 5.15
We've been in motion, to present you:
- Motion Area support -
iConnectHue now supports as first 3rd party app Hue Motion Areas. And we've added some extras for you:
* Flexible manual setup
* Inactivity times down to 30 seconds
* Use Magic Scenes
* Cancelling like Motion Sensors when the app is used
* Disabling actually cancels inactivity actions
You can find the cancelling options under Settings->Motion Sensor cancelling (groups). Select your area there if any action on a certain group should cancel the inactivity actions.
Unfortunately, due to Bridge restrictions, we are otherwise limited to what you can do: Up to 3 rooms or one zone or your home is available, and we have a limited selection of possible actions that can be run.
Note: The initial Motion Area setup needs to be made in the Hue app first in order to be able to configure it here. A Motion Area setup will be available at a later point.
(Included in Pro Bridge support)
- Reworked device editor -
We've reworked many parts of the device editor for easier use and understanding. Although this has been A LOT of work, this is free for everybody by exception.
If you like it, a good review really helps our small team!
- Other bright ideas -
* You can disable the swipe to the Dashboard under the Dashboard options menu
* Contact sensor editing improved
* We've added more fruits to the "Fruits" color set
* We've polished MANY things to make everything smooth for you
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
- We’d love your feedback! -

5.14.8:
• EASTER PACK: 8 great Magic Scenes - available for everybody until mid of April!
• Resolved a few problems
New in iConnectHue 5.14
We have some firecrackers for you - on your lights AND with the app! Here we go:
- Hue Sync Box support with Presets -
iConnectHue now supports the Hue Sync Box for Pro Members. The usual controls are easily accessible via the Dashboard, and we offer an exclusive feature: Presets!
Presets allow you to store your current settings for brightness, the Entertainment Zone, the vis mode and the intensity for easy recall, instead of always needing to set up everything manually.
This was a lot of work - not only to integrate, but also in the future to maintain and adapt over time as iOS and the Hue system evolve. Hence, this feature is available with a Pro Membership.
We likely will add more functionality in the future for the Sync Box, based on your feedback.
This is a beta feature! While we tested it extensively, we haven't yet had experience with it in the wider field. If you experience anything out of the ordinary, write us via the app, so we can improve it for you!
How to add your Sync Box: Go to "Devices" via the menu, select "+" on the top right and select to add a Sync Box.
- Firework animations (one set free until Jan 1) -
No smoke, no loud noises (your pets will aprove), but lots of visual fidelity!
They're free: This seasonal set is available until January 1. With a Membership, you'll have access to it throughout the entire year!
Remember: We also have two additional sets - "Happy new year!" and "Happy new yeah!".
With the animation upgrade, you can upload these animations to switches for instant replay, or run them with a timer to start them exactly when you need them!
- Other bright ideas -
* You can now edit the stop mode of Entertainment areas
* Better editing of Entertainment area in Discotainment Widget
* Updated device search wizard: You can also add new Bridges there by now
* We've polished a few things to make everything smooth for you
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!

5.14.0 12/27/2025
5.13.3
* We've made your life a little easier before Christmas and solved some problems
New in iConnectHue 5.13
We go 13 with Halloween - our Spooky Halloween seasonal Animation set is back until mid Nov.! But wait - there's more...
- Spooky Halloween Animations -
We've updated our Spooky Halloween Animation set by Blood Moon and The Abyss, to give you an even greater choice for your Pumpkin fest.
As always, this seasonal set is available until mid November. With a Membership, you'll have access to it throughout the entire year!
(Included for Members, otherwise available until mid Nov.)
- iPad multitasking support -
We've added support for iPad multitasking on iPadOS 26. Sizing the app window is now supported and the app will adjust its content accordingly. This should make it possible for you to use iConnectHue alongside other app windows, we will fine tune certain circumstances in future releases.
Although this has been quite some work, this is free for everybody!
- Dutch translation -
The Netherlands are the country where Hue originates from, hence we're proud to present iConnectHue in Dutch - Welkom!
We would like to thank Mike Evers for his support with this translation!
- Other bright ideas -
• Fixes and stability improvements to keep everything smooth
• Stay tuned: We're already working on some great new things to come - yes, again!
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
NOTE: We always support the current and the next iOS version. This will likely be the last version with iOS 17 support!
- We’d love your feedback! -

5.13.0 10/09/2025
5.12.1
• Updated for iOS 26 - NOTE: No full iPad windowing support!
• Works around iOS 26 white icon bug
New in 5.12
Ready to go Pro? iConnectHue now supports the brand new Hue Pro Bridge!
- Pro Bridge support -
We were quick, hopefully quick enough for your switch to the all-new Pro Bridge. You can add and use it by today!
It may look small, but making it work reliably took major changes under the hood. We’ve updated and fine-tuned a lot to ensure everything runs smoothly for you. New devices always mean a lot of research, redesign, and testing - and we’re committed to getting it right for you!
(Included for Members, w/ 2025 upgrade or when purchased in 2025)
- Pro Bridge migration -
This is how you migrate from your old V2 Hue Bridge:
• Make sure all devices on old Bridge have their latest firmware
• Use the Hue app to migrate all settings and devices from V2 to Pro Bridge
• Open iConnectHue, DO NOT reconnect or delete the old bridge there yet!
• When multiple Bridges are supported
Search and connect your new Bridge
Migration notice should appear
Follow the migration process to get all of iConnectHue's settings moved to your new Bridge
• On single Bridge support
Go to Devices->Your Bridge
Select find / switch Bridge
Select your new bridge (should state "Migrated Bridge")
Follow the migration process to get all of iConnectHue's settings moved to your new Bridge
• Now everything should be migrated
In case the dialogue didn't appear our you cancelled, you can always migrate later under Devices->Your Bridge->Settings->Migrate old Bridge, but we recommend to do it right after your bridge connection.
The migration process is also explained on our Homepage.
Hint: You can still use the old Bridge in addition or in another home! Reset it after the migration process though.
- Pro Bridge limitations -
The new Bridge is quite capable, but there are certain limitations you should know:
• It doesn't support old Living Colors / Whites lights - either keep your old Bridge for them or get replacements.
• You are STILL limited to the same amount of Rules and Actions on your Pro Bridge. This is a bit of a bummer, as this will limit how many devices you can configure.
We are very hopeful that the Rule/Action limit could fall next year, but we can't say when, as this requires changes to the Hue Bridge firmware, which we do not control.
• It supports the same amount of sensor/switch devices as your old Bridge does. So the rule/action limit might be less severe, but keep in mind that you can't have endless devices.
• You can only migrate ONE Bridge with the Hue app. Multiple Bridges may be supported in the future. Right now we recommend to check your Bridge resources in its settings to see whether there's place for one more Bridge on there!
• There is still only ONE active entertainment zone with 10 lights possible. This may change in the future as well.
- Other bright ideas -
• Improved Bridge addition process
• Tap the Bridge percent resources in its settings and see the actual count
• Fixes and stability improvements to keep everything smooth
• Stay tuned: We're already working on some great new things to come - yes, again!
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
NOTE: We always support the current and the next iOS version. This will likely be the last version with iOS 17 support!

5.12.1 09/17/2025
New in iConnectHue 5.18
- Support for Sync Box 4k and Play Screen Sync -
iConnectHue now supports these new Sync devices, including the use of Presets with them, so you can store your favourite settings for quick later recall.
In addition to this, you can now toggle the background lighting mode in their settings, to keep a minimum brightness for dark scenes on your TV in the respective device's settings.
Please note that our Sync support is still in Beta. We are now confident that it should work for everybody, but are still polishing details.
(Available with Pro Membership)
- Halloween Animations available -
Our yearly Halloween treat is back for everybody - and we've added two new ones: "Ghostly" and "Thriller".
12 spooky Animations are available now until mid of November. Enjoy!
Hint: If you have Nanoleaf panels, connect them - you can run these Animations on them as well! (Pro)
(Available until mid Nov, full year for Memberships)
- Other bright ideas -
* We've updated several aspects of the Watch app - if it doesn't show up, try to add it again from your phone's Watch app;
* If the Watch complication doesn't appear, edit your Watch face and select it again
* Please keep your watchOS up to date: We only support current and previous versions, so have at least watchOS 26 soon to be able to keep using the Watch app
* Several detail improvements to make your life easier
Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
