Doesn’t connect

It just continues to say searching for Bridge lol. It doesn’t connect. Good times.

“Searching for bridge”

If you bought this app to have a camera screen with the message “searching for bridge”, then you are in luck. If you bought it to use the camera to control your hue lights, then not so much. Why is this app still on the App Store?

FAQ

What does Hue Camera do?

Hue Camera creates an Ambilight-like effect by using your device's camera to analyze on-screen colors and then syncing your Philips Hue lights to match. This enhances your viewing experience by making your room's lighting dynamic and responsive to the content you're watching or playing.

How does the app sync lights with the camera?

The app uses a custom algorithm to continuously analyze individual pixels from your device's camera feed. It considers factors like hue, saturation, and luminance to determine the most contributing colors, which are then used to set the color of your Philips Hue lights.

What content can I use with Hue Camera?

You can use Hue Camera with content from televisions, Apple TV, gaming consoles, BluRay/DVD players, and even off-screen items like photos and paintings. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to a wide range of visual sources.

Can I customize the lighting effect?

Yes, you can customize the lighting effect to your liking. The app allows you to change the speed of the color transitions and the intensity of the colors, giving you control over the overall ambiance.

Is Hue Camera compatible with all devices?

Since Hue Camera uses the built-in camera of your device, it is not limited to a specific device. It is designed to work with various devices that can output content to a screen or be viewed by the camera.
