WOW suddenly it all starts to join up The Hue lights are amazing, but combined with the Ambilight TV (lucky purchase 2 years ago!) and this app the combination is mind bending. 3D / Ambilight / Hue / Surround Sound, I'll never go to the cinema again!
★★★★★
Like surround sound for your eyes Amazing cinematic experience. If you have powersaving set to turn WiFi off it will stop working, of course, when android settings set to hold the WiFi connection it works perfectly.
★★★★★
Works great, please open source the algorithm It would be nice to have the SDK released, or at least open source the functions used to convert ambilight colors to the hue lamp colors (the algorithm is not trivial at all). This would help the community to develop desktop and server side applications for synchronization, so that you do not have to keep smartphone enabled and draining the battery.
★★☆☆☆
Cannot find Hue bridge Seems to be a common known issue. The app can't find bridges with up-to-date firmware. Not that surprised given Philips track record. They abandon support for stuff way too quickly
★★☆☆☆
Cannot connect to new bridge firmware The app is totally useless if you want to connect for a first time with a bridge that is running the newest firmware. The app cannot find the bridge. Please update the app to be able to find the bridge, then I will re-rate accordingly.
★★☆☆☆
Please update the app Since last firmware update it doesn't work anymore, so the app is useless. It's the best function HUE had to me, but now it's uesless :(.
