Nope

Worst. Don’t waste your money. It just turns the light on and off. Doesn’t mimic fire.

Response from developer

Firestorm does not use simple on/off switching. It creates continuous fire-style flicker using randomized brightness and timing, with multiple intensity modes and optional flame flares. If the effect did not appear correctly, support can help troubleshoot at support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev.

Love this!

I really like the effects. Any chance of doing a Northern Lights version?

Almost

I really wanted this to be like a candle light but the movements are like to general it needs more control for the kind of candle light. It feels somehow like lights are being moved vs candle flicker. It needs a quicker flick and less brightness and different slight color change. Now it feels artificial and I paid for the app so I was hoping it would replicate candle light

You can adjust the Flicker Speed, disable Flicker Delay (which adds time between flickers), and enable Flares (quick, bright flame bursts) in Settings for a more natural effect. Feel free to reach out to support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev if you need further assistance.

Great app but with some niggles.

Works as described, great FX!

But there are some niggles. When trying to override the state that the app set with something like the Apple Home app or Google Assistant nothing happens.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your review. I understand that you're unable to control your lights with other apps while Firestorm for Hue is running. This happens because the app actively manages your lights, adjusting settings like color and brightness to create the effects. To regain control of your lights, you just need to toggle off the currently running fire mode in the app. Once you do this, your lights should respond normally to other applications. Please contact support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions. Thanks!

Very limited

Why does it always feel like no one uses their own products?? You can only set one light or group of lights at a time. So if you want different colors to flicker at the same time don’t use this app. All I want to do is set up dark purple and dark orange to flicker for Halloween. Why is this so hard to accomplish??

Response from developer

[UPDATE] Great news! "Current" is now an option for Fire Color in Settings, letting the flicker effect utilize your lights' existing colors. [ORIGINAL] Thank you for your feedback! Navigating through the complexities of managing light colors individually can be challenging, but I'm actively exploring ways to enhance the experience. One idea is to add an option to use the existing colors of the lights for the flicker effect. Does this sound like a solution that would work for your needs? Please share any additional thoughts or suggestions at support@firestorm.scottdodson.dev. I appreciate your input and am here to make your experience with Firestorm for Hue better!
