User Reviews
It used to be really user friendly to add devices. Now, you have to tear down Philips outdoor fixtures to look for a serial number. The bridge disconnects and you have to reboot the app. It only tells you to connect to the wifi. The support community is not much help. It looks like they just want you to spend a lot of money on lights and pay for add ons. Looking for alternatives at this point as it is not worth the extra money.
I've bought the app with the one purpose of using it together with Tasker for automation, and for that I would give zero stars. I made a simple profile to turn on living room lights when my phone connects to home WiFi, and the results are really poor. Initially it seems to work when testing, if the app is opened. But on a real life situation, when I'm coming from outside the house, I often get "unable to connect to the bridge". I've done some testing and can elaborate but space here is limited.
If you can get by the initial sticker shock of the cost when first purchasing a Philips Hue bridge starter kit and some further expenditures with applications afterward, all in all, I find the cost to be completely justifiable, especially once you start getting the hang of it, I found that has been worth every penny when you begin to reap the benefits of the items purchased. There are not too many days that go by when I do not utilize the Hues & apps from music syncing to simple mood lighting.
Fantastic App! I no longer use the regular Phillips app. The only reason I removed a star is I found that when you add scenes to your effects, the effects don't take into account light on/off state in the scenes. For example, if I want to create a sunrise effect that starts out with just a light strip but then transitions to another scene that has a light strip + some bulbs on, it doesn't do this and you either start out with everything on, or the bulbs never turn on. On the flip side, if you have a going to sleep effect and want certain bulbs to turn off, even if they are off in the scene that is part of the effect, if they were once on, they stay on. Other than that, great app and thanks for making a more capable Hue solution available to us!
