Chronic Disconnetion

The features are more or less what I wanted. Which is an app that makes your Hue lights flicker with many customization options such as color, brightness, speed and even has a sleep timer.I would have been very satisfied with the app if not for it constantly getting disconnected which requires you to walk to your Hue Bridge and press the button to reconnect. Not something you want when you're trying to relax which is what I cheifly use this app for. I don't understand why the app can't save the "pairing" (to the bridge) information when there are connection issues.It's also annoying when the crackling fire sounds stop music, podcasts or videos that you are playing in other apps.

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry to hear you're getting disconnected. The Hue Bridge IP address might be changing on your network. Is your Hue Bridge or router losing power/restarting frequently? Please try logging into your router and reserving the DHCP address of your Hue Bridge. I'm happy to help you set this up if you contact me at support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev.

I really like the effects. Any chance of doing a Northern Lights version?

Worst. Don’t waste your money. It just turns the light on and off. Doesn’t mimic fire.

Developer Response
Firestorm does not use simple on/off switching. It creates continuous fire-style flicker using randomized brightness and timing, with multiple intensity modes and optional flame flares. If the effect did not appear correctly, support can help troubleshoot at support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev.

Initial issue, but works great now

Original: I access the app from my iPhone 10 and control Philips Hue lights. It works until the auto lock on the phone comes on after two minutes than the flickering stops. I can’t find a setting in the app to prevent it from stopping after the phone’s auto lock activates. I guess I could change the auto lock setting from two minutes to never, but it seems odd that I need to have my phone on for this to work.Update: We use this app nearly every day with our Hue lights and per the developer recommendation, it works fine after I cycled my phone off and on. Five Stars.
