User reviews

Works great!!

Works great easy to use.

Hue lights & app

Great to get around the house with the assistance of the lights on. Also when you get all snuggled in and you forgot to turn off lights on with the Hue.

The perfect lights

I have approximately 70 do you lights in my between indoors and outdoors and I think they’re fabulous. I love the effects and other people do too.

Just missing Apple Watch support

It’s a good rather than great app, but the biggest failing is not having Apple Watch support to control lights - adding that would make it a brilliant app

Hue great, Google not so much

Love the hue app. Using it with Google is so frustrating. Wish there were another way.
