I want your feedback! Please use the email address listed below with any improvements or other home automations you'd like to see available.
Note: To assign buttons you will be asked to enable Hue Shortcuts as an accessibility service. This allows the app to monitor your remote control button presses but does not allow it to see anything you enter in an on-screen keyboard. Only buttons explicitly assigned within the Hue Shortcuts app are acted upon. See the privacy policy for full details.

Exactly what I was looking for-- easily accessible Hue controls without the need for a bloated UI

Does exactly what it says. Widget support would be nice for ATV launcher

Works with Sony Bra via like a charm! I didn't want to buy a Sync box, so I searched for alternatives and this won by far!

Fantastic app, perfectly executed. Working well with Nvidia Shield and saves having to dig out your mobile phone to change scenes.

Loved this app on my old Google TV 4K. Unfortunately I can no longer get past the setup screen on the newer Streamer model. Whenever I select my Hue Bridge, the setup restarts.
