This is a great app if you're a Hue addict. It's simple to use, and it's nice and responsive on my Oneplus 3. The icon shows clearly in the notification shade, although the icon there is a generic white one and doesn't match the colour I chose in the app (an android restriction, I guess?) The icon in the pull down shade is correct though. One thing worth mentioning is that if, like me, your lock screen hides the details of notifications for privacy /security reasons, then your lock screen will only say: Lock switch free Contents hidden Obviously this is because your phone is configured *not to show the content of notifications* so the lock screen widget won't function. I'm guessing the developer will make this clearer in the future and, on that basis, I'll give this five stars.

About this app

Lock Switch creates notifications with buttons for turning Philips Hue lights on and off. Use lock screen notifications to control your lights without unlocking your phone. The notifications automatically appear when your phone connects to your wifi network and disappear when you disconnect.

Lock Switch Free lets you control one light. Upgrade to Lock Switch Premium to control multiple lights or light groups.

Note: If you have your notifications set to "Hide sensitive notification content", the lock screen portion of this will not work. However, you will still be able to control your lights from the notification shade after unlocking your phone.
