This app makes no sense and is garbage. Use my camera to sync my lights to the TV??? I've never thought I've wasted 99 cents but alas I have

It's a bit of a mess, click on the bottom arrow to select available lights. It's not as responsive as it is when streaming using hue PC app. Feels like this app is randomly changing colors just because, so it makes it awkward when the phone picks up a brighter color than on TV. Save your money it's not really worth the dollar 😂 Using a cam to sync is not a good option trust me you will get sick of it quickly. PC sync option works best.

Okay so, I don't understand why this app has such a low rating. I mean, it's not perfect but it does a damn good job trying to be but the rest is up to you. I fine tuned the Entertainment area first then I used my old Pixel 2 XL and a flexible goose neck phone holder to get the positioning right because if you have to zoom at all it won't work right. I can't post pics or videos on here but I have a couple on my Instagram. WayneHenning2 or search #huelightshow. It's not perfect but couldn't do 4

As others in the reviews, it says that i have no lights selected. Instead of responding to the reviews with please contact us for help, try fixing the issue! The app is a train wreck!

App does as advertised, syncs to camera view. UI is definitely unintuitive, could use some work to get it to a better place. Other than that, probably worth the $1 I spent.

for all saying cant add bulbs, that arrow thing pointing up. touch it and you'll see your bulbs. that being said. the light do change but to the colors that match tv, hardly. for a buck its ok though.

FAQ:
1. Hue Notification can not connect to your bridge? What should you do?

There are possibly many reasons why your bridge is not available to our Hue apps. Once this problem occurs, make sure the following items are correct:

• Your smartphone is connecting to the SAME WIFI with Bridge.

• Your Bridge has all the lights on. Sometimes, your Bridge can't conenct to WiFi and you will find the WiFi light is off

• Your Bridge and Hue apps are updated to latest version

• You can connect to your Bridge with original Hue app from Philips or any other Hue relating apps.

If those items don't help you, we can help. Email us at contact@appsforhue.com



2. Why your light bulbs are out of sync for some effects?

Because of the hardware limitation on Hue Bridge (as described below), there are out-of-sync for some effects. Especially for color changing effects, Hue Bridge can't serve all the request at high speed without Hue Entertainment. We are working with Philips team to integrate new SDK (with Hue Entertainment). Hue Entertainment integration will be released in version 3.0



3. Why does the hue seem to slow down with more bulbs?

When you have up to 10 bulbs all should be fine. If you have more bulbs disable the ones that are not visible to you in the Bulbs list. Hue works at its best with around 5 bulbs selected. We will update soon with hue entertainment to improve your color sync and effect.



4. What is sync speed?

For some horror movie, most of the time, movie scenes are dark. You can utlize slow sync speed to avoid flooding your Philip Hue system.
For action movie, it's best to use fastest sync speed to keep the lights up with your fast chaning movie scenes.
