Spooky FUN! – Hue Halloween for Philips Hue Review

I never used to be into Halloween. Then I got this App to utilize my Hue lights and now I can't resist expanding my decorating every year. I've been using this app to great effect for the past 3 Halloweens. We always get lots of compliments from trick-or-treaters and friends and my two toddlers LOVE playing with the spooky sounds/controlling the lights on the iPad app! It's a fun party trick for friends as well. Hooking it up to a Hue motion sensor works perfectly to trigger spooky sounds right as people approach the house. One warning: start with a fully charged phone and keep it plugged in, since it will drain the battery like crazy. I recommend using the headphone audio jack to sync audio to the lights perfectly, if possible. One of Hue's updates for the bridge nearly broke the app for Halloween 2018. I was SO happy when the developer fixed the compatibility update in a June 2019! I'm really looking forward to using this again next year. I've bought other apps/add-ons for this App from the developer and would have happily paid much more for this App because of how FUN it is.
