iConnectHue for Philips Hue Reviews

Annoying

Vulgar demos

Keeps sending me to turn on notifications, which is bad enough. But my notifications for the app are turned on. So no clue what automation wizard wants. This app is a huge hassle for many reasons but made necessary but Philips’ hilariously featureless app.

Just Stop looking and Use this App

Suavehowse

Anyone invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem for as long as I have has probably spent hours on end looking for the best application that just “works”. I have been a Phillips Hue user now for over 3 years (which is an eternity in the IOT world) and have tried at least 20 different apps and have spent a lot of money on some of those apps only to be disappointed. I’ve been using iConnectHue for well over a year now and it continues to get better and better and handle my crazy smart home with ease. I have an assortment of 45 smart Phillips Hue bulbs, 6 Hue Dimmers, 4 Hue Taps, 3 Hue Motion Detectors and use this app daily (even when deployed overseas I would check in on the House). I think I’ve used the native Phillips app only twice in the last year. Learn from my mistake, don’t waste hours scavenging the App Store and loads of money experimenting on other apps. Get iConnectHue now and use that time and money on something that works!

Doesn’t work

I bought this app because it said you could set up timers for Hue lights that you can’t through the Homekit app or Hue bridge. I am a pretty technical person. After many hours of trying, trouble shooting, googling, re-reading instructions, this app does not sync cleanly with the hue bridge. I have a couple different scenes set up for my hue lights and I never did get all of them to sync or show up on this app. I even tried through the hue bridge. Not only did i spend the $4.99 on the iphone app, I had to spend another $4.99 for the iPad app. I read all the reviews prior as I really wanted something that worked, and that i could set timers. Like I said, I am pretty technical, and if I can’t get it to work after all the hours spent, I definitely cannot recommend spending the money on this app.

The Best Primary Hue App

I've tried 12 different Hue apps now, including the official one from Philips, and this app is, by far, the best one to serve as your primary Hue light manager (replacing the official, and any others). A Hue must-have.

BEST HUE APP!

By far, the best app to control everything. Although it may take a few minutes to get used to the way the app works, it can do about everything you can expect it to do. It also has a great widget. My only complains (which are very tiny) are: •maybe a nicer, cleaner looking app logo that fits better with iOS 11 •less things you have to pay for considering the app is $5 itself Other than that, great app, have not had a single problem, glitch, or bug!

Many animations not working in timer

Rufus J Squirrel

I have been using this app for several years and have always liked it. At some point in the past few months, multiple animations have stopped working as timer options - I constantly get an error saying there was a problem creating the timer. Some animations work, some don’t - some in the same animation packs. Seems mostly random. I can test all of them and supply a complete list if needed.

A must for the Philips Hue

If you have the Philips Hue lighting setup you must get this app! It is so much easier to navigate and set up than the Philips app. Beyond that, of you submit questions to the app designer you get a reply very quickly. I am very pleased and very impressed with this app!

The best Phillips Hue app that exists today

MrSoundGuy

I started using this app over a year ago because the original Phillips Hue app was so horrible. The support is terrific and you get regular updates. It’s the only app that I know you can easily configure the light switches with all sorts of push and/or hold combinations for each button. It’s well worth the money that you’ll pay for this app and probably does more than you will ever use it for. And if you are reading this and not sure about getting it, know that you are getting a complete replacement for the Hue app plus lots of extra config options too!!

Finally create rules that make sense

I’ve been looking for a great hue app for months. After reading more about iConnectHue, i found out it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for, and so much more. You can actually use motion sensors properly now. Thanks and keep up the good work! I wanted to add something though. One of the reasons it took me so long to try this app out was the way the interface looks. And it’s not exactly intuitive to work with. By far the best app I’ve used, functionality wise. I love it. Just the way the lights and rooms are represented isn’t too appealing but that’s not a huge deal I guess (though it is why I didn’t download it right away). But some of the touch actions. Like double tapping but holding down to do this or that. I’m not sure. But I would think a UI expert (along with a redesign of the icons/etc that represent the lights) would make it so much easier to work with and also get you guys some more customers. Other than that - love it!!

Easily the best app for Philips Hue

Whatknows101

This is easily the best app for controlling your Philips Hue lights! FAR better, even, than the app from Philips Hue! The ability to create scenes, animations, etc., makes it one or two touches to have your lights do exactly what you want them to do! The apartment I built doesn’t have windows, so I was looking to build a lighting system that could follow the sun in both brightness and color temperature in the built-in “windows” I created to emulate sunrise and sunset and all the stages of lighting throughout the day. The systems I was looking at were going to cost $2,000-$5,000! Then I found Philips Hue and this app. It allows me to do all of that and so much more. I now have my entire house automated with the Hue lights and accessories through this app. The addition of motion detectors and programming to control exactly what I want to happen is incredible. And when I want them to change to something different, one touch of the button is all it takes. Create zones, rooms......whatever you want and have it do whatever you want! Just a great app!!
