## What is hueDynamic for Hue Pro?

hueDynamic brings your Philips Hue system to life. NEW scenes each day!

Feel energized or relaxed with professionally designed experiences combining light and sound. Over 50 mixable and dynamic scenes with simple room and lighting group control, such as mountain chill, fireplace, jungle night, fire and ice, rainforest, fireworks and many more!

Have the ultimate party with multiple advanced sound to light disco modes. Adjust strobe, intensity, hue and more! 

Camera support means you can point your device at your TV and sync your lights to your viewing for a truly immersive experience! Movie night has never been so good. Enjoy an advanced sampling mode - predominant multicolored with adjustable smoothing. Speed and brightness control is also supported.

Transparent multiple bridge support (included) allows you to control all your lights across multiple bridges without having to switch between them.

Child lock allows restricted access to your Hue system for kids.

Create your own custom photo ambiences and enhance the colors with our "Tweaks!". Photo ambiences are stored on the Hue bridge with our OmniScene technology, meaning you don't have to recreate the ambience for different rooms. Not only that, they are accessible from all your devices running hueDynamic.

Ever come home to have all your Hue lights on 100% brightness because of a power outage? With the hueDynamic app, this is a thing of the past thanks to our power cut detection. With a simple tap, you can enable this feature and your Hue Bridge will be programmed to recognize when its power has been disturbed. As soon as it has finished booting, it will then command your lights to switch off.

Make your Hue Dimmer, Tap, Smart Button and Lutron devices more useful with our advanced programming interface, with more functionality that the official Philips Hue app. Unlock features such as multiple actions per button, toggle power with one button, cycle through ambiences, enable & disable color loop, cycle through brightness levels and much more!

The hueDynamic app has simple setup and linking with auto detection of your Hue system.

We also love different types of lights, such as Osram and Dresden. We convert colors to appropriate color temperatures for lights that don't support color.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

- Professional dynamic lighting scenes for your Philips Hue system, with stereo sound effects and music!

- Advanced Device programming for Hue Tap, Hue Tap Dial, Hue Dimmer, Lutron Aurora, RunLessWire Click & Niko Friends of Hue switches

- Natural sunrise & sleep routines

- Camera support - Have your lights match your TV in real-time! Multiple color modes are supported.

- Photo Ambience - Create awesome custom ambiences from your favorite photos with "Tweaks!" and apply them to any room!

- Advanced sound to light DISCO modes (peak & spectrum) - Adjust response hue, strobe and much more!

- Temperature dashboard. View the room temperature for anywhere that you have a Hue Motion Sensor.

- Easily link Ikea and other 3rd party bulbs with the TouchLink button built into the app.

- Run effects on a timer - perfect reminder for those long showers!

- Real transparent multiple-bridge support. Add all your bridges and don't switch!

- OmniScene technology - Create ambiences and mix and use them on any lights without having to recreate them!

- The app runs in the background to provide you with light and sound experiences on your Philips Hue lights and speakers, while allowing you the freedom of using your device for other tasks at the same time.

### 5/5 — Intuitive to use, stimulating

*2022-12-10, version 1.7.31*

I am new to Hue. I have tried a dozen apps to get some measure of control over the downlight floods, ribbons, washes and other lights in my system. hueDynamic is the best, by far. I give the app high marks for a very intuitive interface which guides you to learn create more visually stunning and complex effects. The large number of included color palates, simple ambience and dynamic effects is very impressive. The app makes it easy to set up automations that can run simultaneously. Or you can drive your Hue lights individually or in combination entirely manually. I look forward to future versions which I hope will add more conditionals, (saved) state variables and ability to store and repurpose schedules and automations. For what I need right now, this app is super.

### 1/5 — Requires Bridge Device

*2022-01-22, version 1.7.22*

It was not clear that you would need a bridge device to use any of the features. I would not have purchased it if it were more clear. That being said it does seem like it could be a good app if I had the right hardware.

### 4/5 — Screen Does Not Rotate on iPad Pro

*2021-10-14, version 1.7.22*

Excellent App. Gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I use the app mostly while watching movies or sports games. Turns out when I rotate the iPad in “Landscape” orientation, the image from the camera does not rotate and it makes it awkward trying to adjust settings. The image from the camera shown on the screen is sideways whenever the iPad is in “Landscape” mode. Please fix and I’ll give it 5 out of 5 stars (hopefully my description makes sense).

### 2/5 — No Siri control?

*2021-05-18, version 1.7.22*

I can get scheduled events like wake up to show up on the Phillips app, and I can make them respond to Siri. But other experiences like candlelight, I have no idea how to get The experience to be recognized by the Phillips hue app (or the Home app) so I can’t say “candlelight“. I’ve been all over the website, and all the help, but I can’t figure this out about.

### 5/5 — HueDynamic App

*2021-03-27, version 1.7.22*

This is the best hue app I’ve used. It is missing a couple of capabilities that I miss. Limiting the number of lights to 10 is disappointing. If wish it had the capability to build our own Experiences. Despite this it is a great app.

### 5/5 — Please make a pirate ship sound

*2020-12-07, version 1.7.17*

Creaking boards and a storm with waves would be one of the better experiences this app could offer despite that I’m loving it

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-11-13, version 1.7.17*

Finally an app that doesn’t scam everyone for super expensive annual fees or expensive micro transactions to buy light packs. This app works well and blows the competition out of the water as far as price and quality goes. My only complaint/hope is the need to have the lights run in the background with the screen off as some other apps do.

### 2/5 — iOS 14.1 on iPhone SE Not Working

*2020-11-11, version 1.7.17*

After updating to iOS 14, the app no longer works and does not connect to the Hue Bridge. Seeing as this is a premium app, this really should have been tested better before release.

Edit: It’s an edge-case that you might want to address, but if you have the latest app version already installed, then iOS updates to iOS 14, then the Local Network permissions pop up never shows. So no, it’s not “obvious” as the developer said. 

Should treat your customers better with the way you address them. As a developer, to assume all edge cases work is arrogant and a bad approach to QA, especially on mobile apps.

**Developer response:** The app works fine on iOS 14. When prompted you should Allow local network permissions which is new in iOS 14. If you deny this it obviously won’t work. Reinstall and Allow this permission to continue.

### 5/5 — Stopped working after iOS 14

*2020-10-17, version 1.7.17*

After updating to iOS 14 everything I previously setup was erased and it’s no longer finding my bridge or lights. Doesn’t work!

**Developer response:** iOS 14 is fully supported and used by thousands of hueDynamic customers without issue. I'm not sure what you've done but I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Features list still misleading

*2019-11-27, version 1.6.21*

The app is fine for what it does, but I gladly paid for the pro version because of one feature alone above anything else: virtual push link.  Unfortunately it doesn’t work and probably never will unless Philips (or Signify or whatever) re-enables it.  Not the developer’s fault as that’s something completely out of their control.  However, accurately describing an app’s functionality is a developer’s responsibility and 100% in their control. Failing to do so is at the very least misleading even if only due to an oversight.  Not updating the features list after it was brought to their attention privately: deceptive advertising.

**Developer response:** Hi this is a true oversight and will be corrected with the next update. Thanks for the heads up. I hope they bring that API back though.
