Turn your Hue lights into magical dynamic light scenes with Ambee. Transfer yourself to romantic Paris or get overflown by the colors and dynamics of Northern Lights. • 1 WHY AMBEE? Ambee invented Dynamic Light Scenes for Philips Hue in 2013 back then known as Goldee. Carefully chosen colors, hues, shades, duration, transitions that change the colors of your bulbs and coordinate well together are hand-crafted for you. • 2 WHAT ARE COLORFUL DYNAMIC LIGHT SCENES? It is a sequence of hand-crafted colors, shades at different brightness levels that move/dance/change in time to create a specific ambiance. • 3 WHAT'S THE SECRET SAUCE TO A DYNAMIC SCENE? We start with artist-sourced photos as our palette and then create a scenario for each scene. We have invented and created proprietary software for the Light Animations created by Philips Hue lights. The Lighting Library has been growing since it was introduced. • 4 HOW USERS DESCRIBE AMBEE #easy-to-use #simple #relaxing #inspiring #modern #stylish #vibrant #cozy #cusomizable #magical #powerful #surprising #handy #seamless Enjoy your new home!

Ambee gave my Hue smart lights a completely new meaning! I had no idea of what my Hue lights were truly capable of until Ambee unlocked the possibilities for me. The perfectly timed fluctuations and tone on the color changes put you in the very mood and setting the title of the Ambee mode is trying to invoke.Works seamlessly after connecting to your Hue Bridge with a single click of the big white button and takes control of your lights without having to fiddle with the Phillips Hue App or overriding the ability to take control back of your lights. I was told by Tomas, the Ambee creator, that improvements will be coming to the UI to have access to more modes from one screen. Additionally, I’d like to be able to manipulate the individual modes while also being able to revert back to the defaults of each. Siri control may be nice as well. I look forward to ever improving updates on this app and recommend this app to anyone who wants to see what their Hue Color lights can really do. Thanks!

I got a new phone and couldn’t sign in. I tried several times and now the app is “temporarily” disabled. The problem is I’ve tried it several times over the past month and a half with no luck and now way to reset the password. Love the app when it works, which was always u til recently.Update: I emailed the developer and received a response almost immediately with a link to reset my password. Ambee is my favorite Hue app again!

Some really great animations

I love this app. I have about 35 color led bulbs plus some strips in all the rooms in my apartment. I really love the dim animations as I don’t like it very bright in my home. To the developer. A nice feature to add would be to allow different rooms to run different animation. Oh and the in app “write a review”. It looks like the font color might be set to white on a white background.

Developer Response
Thanks a lot for your kind words and for your tips. You can already play different animations in different rooms. You just play Animation A in room A, then you switch the room to room B and select an Animation B.Cheers my friend!Tomas BaranCEO & Founder of Ambee

Has decent potential

Could be a good app, if the app itself didn’t timeout after a while and wasn’t a considerable battery drain. I’ll notice after a few minutes the lights are no longer changing color, I bring the app up on my phone and it’s just frozen, have to shut it down and bring it back up. It’s laughable to have a subscription to an app that works for 5 minutes. Uninstalled.Update after dev response 3/9/23I’m good, I uninstalled your app. I see now you’ve abandoned this project and only respond with “give me a detailed description” to make it seem like you care.

Developer Response
I'm sorry about your experience. As for the battery drainage, it's optimize as it could so it drains the minimum amount of battery. Unfortunately, if it's supposed to run in the background, it does need energy to run.As for your issue with timing out, please send me a more detailed report to tomas [at) ambee dot app.Cheers,Tomas BaranFounder of Ambee
