Works great and cheap. Running on a tablet i can easily sync my videogames and movies to hue. Just point the camera at the tv and done. I've tried/wasted money on other apps to do this. Wish i would have found this app first. Mr developer is it possible to keep the app and camera running and turn the screen off? Any chance of a setting to save zoom level and brightness? Thankyou.

It doesn't seem like it would be that big a thing? I mean who pays attention to the lighting in the room when they're watching a TV show or movie, right? Then I downloaded this and watched the season finale of Star Trek Discovery with my phone propped up aimed at my computer screen. The phone was controlling three Hue bulbs in the ceiling fan behind me, so in no way was the placement optimal, but the entire room flashed from darkened to sudden red with each explosion. Seriously it was awesome. I'm in the process of setting up the "I'm retired and will sit in this recliner watching movies every day" entertainment system and am adding this to the list.

Amazing. If you drop the transition speed to 100ms it's almost identical to the official Hue Sync app that you can use on a PC. This app makes gaming on consoles and watching movies on Netflix so much better.

Works as advertised. Four lights. One in each corner of the room. TV centered. The response time is quick. For a dollar its perfect.

Great program! Wish the camera was in 16:9 or configurable. Love it though!

Would be perfect if there was an option for light saturation/etc so it's not mostly whites/grays.
