What's New in iConnectHue for Philips Hue

5.17.0

August 26, 2026

New in iConnectHue 5.17 ** iConnectHue: Nanoleaf and Hue in one app! ** iConnectHue joins both worlds and lets you control your Nanoleaf lights in one app - no separate hardware required! It supports not only Nanoleaf Shapes, but also Aurora, Canvas, Elements and Lines. Thanks to ChromaSense, colors are calibrated between them and match as closely as possible across all devices - including your iPhone and iPad. Here's what you can do: * Control them via the Dashboard * Set colors and gradients * Start and control Animations * Play with Magic Scenes * Discover & set up in devices Currently supported Nanoleaf devices: Aurora, Canvas, Shapes, Elements & Lines. No Bridge or other additional hardware is required. What this is: * A Tech Preview - well tested, but only with a small audience * Control when at home - no remote access available What this is not: * Not a Nanoleaf-only app - you still need to connect your Hues * Not all possible features available yet, e.g. no device scenes nor Discotainment * No control via Hue hardware, like switches * No final form - may change the way it works, may even be removed, based on what comes out Current plans are to improve Nanoleaf support over time, based on outcomes and your feedback. (Available with Pro Membership) ** Other bright ideas ** * We have improved Pro's daylight mode (daylight based on your time and location), it should be now more true to the day's light (not considering clouds or pollution) * Direct light timer access from a light's menu (...) in the light list * You can now search for scenes in the scene list * Several detail improvements to make your life easier Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device - it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing! - We’d love your feedback! - Enjoying the update? We worked hard to bring this to you — and your support keeps the lights on (literally)! •• Give us five stars in the App Store! Even if you've rated before, a fresh review helps! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app under "Help & More"->Contact. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question? We also have an elaborate FAQ: https://iconnecthue.com/f-a-q/ Thanks for leaving the lights on!

Beats scenes from the official Hue app

Love it so far no complaints other than monthly subscription wished there was a better one time purchase but the developers are putting in great work

Order of magnitude better than the stock Hue app

Which isn’t saying much, of course. But even if the official Hue app *weren’t* miserable, I’d still love iConnectHue. All kinds of thoughtfully-implemented features, but doesn’t take long to get the hang of.

User since 2018

Just a lot of fun

Good things when you play with the lights
