iConnectHue for Philips Hue App Reviews

Use this app and your hue system is like on steroids. Multiple settings on dimmer switches and hue tap are just the beginning. Coordinate your lights in groups and use timers based on sunset and dawn. Now even with animations stored on the bridge!

Es ist eine unnormal einfache App !!!

Beste App für Hue, Top Funktionalität!

Lets be clear. The price of the app plus all the in app purchases is rather expensive compared to the average going applications in the App Store. I was reluctant to buy the app because of the fees and because all the other Philips Hue apps werent very good or had 1 amazing feature but the rest of the app was useless. Previously I was using about 4 apps. The official Philip Hue apps, Huemote and OnSwitch. Ive also tried using all the other apps. Each did one thing well but I had to jump between many apps. The reason I bought this app is because of the ability to program the dimmer remotes. The app did a fantastic job of programming my 7 dimmer switches. I was able to add custom behaviours to the buttons and configure it any way I wanted. (Note that Philips Hue has a 100 action limit that I hit when programming 6 remotes because I put too many actions on each remote. I had to reduce that. This is a Philips Hue limit, not the developer limit.) I have remotes program to press the power button to turn on. Then press the power button again change to a different preset colour. If I press the off button, one group of lights turns off. If I hold the off button, all my Philips hue bulbs turn off in the entire home. After using the app, I learned that this is the ultimate Philips Hue app. It does everything. The custom groupings works 100% better than the "rooms" Philips app uses. I can allocate the same light to multiple groups. Custom widget designer (in-app purchase) works really well. Allows for organizing and structuring your widget how you want it. (I do wish the widget icons were a bit smaller but that is just being extremely picky). Remote Access (now free) works well. Previously I always had to access the official app for this which didnt align with other app groupings. The animation is well built. Takes a bit of time to configure and play with but colour cycling works well. Small quirk for stopping an animation, but that is minor. Presets are becoming my new favourite feature (after the dimmer configuration). Being able to create a preset for the lights, brightness, colours and then assigning it to a widget or remote. Overall, this is a fantastic app that will make most of the other Philips Hue apps obsolete. It may seem expensive, but compared to the price of the bulbs, it is a minimal fee that will allow you to get maximum configuration and use out of your Philips hue system. This app is especially critical if you have many bulbs and switches spread throughout your home.

The app does whats it suppose to.

This is simply the best app there is for the hue system!

Features keep on getting added. Still very impressed with this app. Would recommend the remote access add on. Greatly improves automation.

Controlling 3 bridges at 3 locations, works excellent! Well worth the purchase.

I spend 2 hours this morning trying to get this to work. It is better suited to computer programmers than to people who want to control their lights. The reason I bought this is because the Hue App that goes with the lights wont let me turn one group of lights on and the group of lights off. I thought this would solve it. But after programming and reprogramming all the setting multiple times I finally gave up. Not only that, the app continuoulty forgot the new settings I was applying, suddenly revertain back to older settings. And activating lights by "group" failed every time. I ended up trying to activate all the individuals lights. Also, this app is massively overpriced. Ive used wicked apps that are free or less than $3. All this did was give me an enormous headache. Shame on this company!

Update: The app is still the best out there. Great new features continue to be added. When my phone contract was up recently, this app was a significant factor in my decision to stay with an iPhone. It really is *that* good. Original review: Theres nothing better. The app is great and the developer responds to emails quickly. Well worth the price.

This is the most feature-rich, robust, and sensible Philips Hue app available. There are no others like it: its features are both deceptively easy to configure, and expansive enough for even the most particular among the tech crowd. What do I use this app for the most? Programming all the switches in my house. Good luck to anyone trying to do it with any other app, including the barely acceptable official app. This app is years of development time ahead of everything when it comes to editing switches. I highlight only this one superb advantage the app has over others, but its genuinely got all other apps beat in every available feature category. If youve already invested hundreds or thousands of dollars on lights, dont suddenly go cheap on the app. Youre not going to get this functionality elsewhere or for free. This developer has provided the Philips Hue community with the benchmark by which all other apps should strive to meet or exceed. As of now, no app comes close, especially the official one. Pay the paltry sum and actually realize the full potential of those smart lights you spent so much damn money on. Ive bought all the addons with the exception of multi-bridge support. This is a developer I do not want my lights to lose. Do yourself whats best and buy the superior Philips Hue app, otherwise known as iConnectHue.

If you are serious about your HUE lights, this a serious app. Great flexibility and great features.

If you like to set all of the details for your lights, this is the app for you! Especially good controls for switches and schedules, along with great interfaces for timers and fades.

Wonderful app with a wealth of options and configuration details. Plenty of help available and it wont take long for the average user to master the interface. Wonderful product!

Works better than either of the official Hue apps

This app really helps you utilize all the fun and functionality of the hue lights! Really happy with ease of use!

This is a great application that does many complex items. Support is fantastic and updates keep getting churned out on a regular basis. One of the best Hue applications out there!

This app is well made and stable. The developer offers great customer care. Features have been consistently added, and bugs have been resolved. Well worth the, low, cost. This is my go-to app for my 20+ lights.

I have 6 bridges and over 300 bulbs. Only app that can enable multi bridge management effectively. Id gladly pay more for this keep up good work.

Of the many I have tried, this program combines simplicity of use with a robust smart device management system. None of the rest can do both. I find myself coming back to iConnect Hue most often. An excellent app.
