Wake up peacefully with the perfect sunrise from Hue Lights! Your lights will change through thousands of precise sunrise colors as they slowly brighten. Schedule multiple sunrise times for weekdays, weekends, or individual days. The schedules and sunrise simulation run 100% on your bridge, so your mobile device can be powered off. The perfect sunrise feature includes an integrated snooze function. At any time during the sunrise sequence you can turn all of your lights off with a Hue Tap, dimmer switch, widget, or app. The lights will resume the sunrise sequence when the snooze timer expires. You can also start a sunrise sequence using a Hue Tap, dimmer switch, motion sensor, or daylight sensor. The total duration of this sequence is configurable from 1 minute to 60 minutes.
Is your bridge too full? Did you run out of rules? Are you reluctant to perform a factory reset? Hue Lights can help you clean up unused bridge resources. This often lets you add more Hue dimmer switches, Hue Taps, and motion sensors. To use these new clean-up tools tap Settings and then Bridge Information. The Rules and Sensors section allows you to disable and/or delete unused bridge resources.
Several other updates are included in this release:
- Added support for Philips Hue candle bulbs (models LCT012 and LTW012).
- Temporarily suspend all of your motion sensors with one tap.
- Resume all of your motion sensors with one tap.
- Added logarithmic audio fade-out to water, fire, and thunderstorm effects.
- Fixed intermittent issue when deleting sensors.
- Added heuristics to handle corrupt data from poor network connections.

Hue motion sensor support is here! Create multiple time intervals. Turn on or off any of your lights when motion is detected. Activate scenes or groups for both motion and non-motion events. Use multiple motion sensors to create follow-me light sequences.
Hue Lights also exposes the hidden temperature sensor within each motion sensor. Turn some of your lights blue when a room is too cold. Turn lights red when it is too hot. Add flashing alerts to temperature thresholds.
Special configuration options are available for the light level threshold. Turn lights on or off using only light level triggers.
This release has something for everyone. Save your GPS coordinates on the bridge for automatic sunrise and sunset actions. Have your favorite scene or group turn on or off at sunrise and sunset. The activation times will automatically adjust throughout the year based on your location. Actions can be triggered exactly at sunrise/sunset or up to 2 hours before or after. Everything runs on the bridge, so scenes and groups will activate even when your iOS device is powered off.

Experience melodies of light for every mood, occasion, and event with Hue Lights sequences. Savor the 12 sample sequences or create your own using the powerful sequence editor. Add lights, groups or scenes to each step and assign colors, fade times, on/off actions, and effects. Add or rearrange steps to running sequences to get immediate feedback.

Several of the sample sequences work with the "All Lights" system group, so they even work in the free version of the app. Samples include Attention, Cold Recipes, Exercise Interval, Heartbeat, Holiday Cheer, Movie Start, Nebula Point, Spectrum, Sunrise, Sunset, Traffic Light, and Warm Recipes.
This release also packs in 11 improvements for existing users:
* 3D Touch - Turn all lights off or on by deeply pressing Hue Lights app icon (iPhone 6s feature).
