Beste Organisation aller Lampen

Für mich ist es die Beste App für Hue-Lampen und Zubehör. Da ich 61 Hue-Lampen + 31 Hue-Zubehör verbaut habe, gibt es für mich keine Alternative zu dieser App, besonders bezüglich der Organisation der Leuchten und der Multi-Bridge-Funktion. Nach einiger „Einarbeitungszeit“ ist die App wirklich topp zu nutzen und es gibt oft neue Updates, die auch coole neue Funktionen oder Erweiterungen bieten! Ich habe schon 13 verschiedene Hue-Apps mit unterschiedlichsten Funktionen getestet, aber nutze fast nur iConnectHue! Ich kann die App empfehlen, allerdings würde ich auch in die Pro-Mitgliedschaft investieren damit man alle Funktionen vollumfänglich nutzen kann. Der Preis ist mehr als fair! Weiter so!

Very useful

I initially purchased this app to get my dimmer switches to control my bedside lamps separately, something the official app cannot do yet. I have continued to explore the app and have been impressed by the features that it offers for customisation and automation. The app could do with a visual refresh as it looks a little dated to me and lots of things within the app require additional purchases - but I would say that many of them are worth it.

Love

Great

Best companion app, worth the upgrade fee.

In addition to the official Philips Hue app, this is my go-to app for controlling my lights and setting themes. It’s not immediately intuitive, but once you figure it out it’s as-functional if not more-functional than the official app. Very impressed and would recommend the lifetime upgrade.

Superb level of control

Hue lights are incomplete until you get this app. This is sooo much better than the native hue setup. Do not be without it!
