So here's my take on the Philips Hue app. I've tried out a bunch of smart home apps and this one's pretty solid. The interface is clean and intuitive, and there's a ton of customization options for your lights. And the pre-made scenes are a nice touch, though I ended up making my own after a while. One thing that bugged me is how long some of the light updates take, but it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, if you're rocking the Philips Hue ecosystem, this is the app you'll want to use.

Description

I’ve been using the Philips Hue app for a couple months now. It’s basically a smart home app that lets you control your Philips Hue lights and accessories. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.

Here’s what you can do – you can group your lights into rooms or zones so you can control them all together. And there’s this cool scene gallery with preset lighting moods, made by lighting designers. And you can even make your own scenes based on photos. Oh, and you can control everything right from the app, even when you’re not home.

Look, if you’ve got a Philips Hue setup, this app is pretty much a must-have. It’s not perfect – the setup can be a bit tricky and the scenes get old after a while. But overall it does the job and makes managing your smart lights a lot easier.

The old app was better, it was easier to use and always able to discover new lights. It takes me hours to get lucky enough to add one new light....
