About

Hue Dashboard

Read full description

Hue Dashboard turns your Philips Hue lights into a control panel you actually memorize, instead of a menu you have to search through every time. Add your lights, scenes and rooms as tiles and place them exactly where you want on the grid. Once you build your layout, it stays that way. No shuffling buttons, no hunting for the light you want because a new bulb got added somewhere else in the list. Built for the way people actually use a smart home dashboard: mounted on a wall or the fridge, always on, glanceable from across the room. A layout you can find without thinking twice, and nothing moving around when your setup changes. It's not only for the wall. On iPhone, the same fixed grid fits naturally in one hand, so you get the same fast, predictable control whether you're reaching for it in your pocket or walking past a mounted iPad. Try it before you connect anything. From the welcome screen you can open a demo mode and explore a working layout to see exactly how it works before pairing it with your bridge. What you get: • Fixed grid layout that never rearranges itself • Tiles for lights, scenes and rooms • A demo mode, reachable from the welcome screen, to try before you connect your bridge • Works with your existing Philips Hue bridge and lights Hue Dashboard is the fastest, most predictable way to control your lights.
