Worth the Pro Subscription!
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.

Transforming Hue lights and Switches into magical devices
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.

Easily the best app for Philips Hue
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!!
