iConnectHue for Philips Hue

New in iConnectHue 5.4

A happy new year to everybody. You know our fireworks - but still we'd like to start with a bang: Discotainment 2.0 - the next leap for Discotainment!
If you tried it before and wanted more: Give it a fresh try!

Beat stabilizer

It does what it says - and more. It can hold the tempo when there's a short loss of the beat, and it can predict beats.
What does this Voodoo magic do, you ask? Well, it means that effects are now more in time with your beats - because we can compensate the delay when recording via microphone.
This is our new year's present to you - it's automatically there for everybody!

Note: We still recommend Electronic and Pop music with clear bass line for this to work best.


Pulsate effect

A new effect that just looks great - lights alternating brightness with the beat, especially when combined with other effects (more on that right after this). Choose the desired minimum and maximum brightness via slider.
(Available for every Member or w/ 2023 upgrade)


Automatic effect mode

Now we have so many effects - what if I don't want to be stuck at my phone all time?

"Automatic" is the answer - iConnectHue can now play different effects over time, ready with sliders for you to choose how much you want from each one, and how often (in beats) they should happen.
If you set "Pass through" to 0%, you solely use beats for light control, and other disturbances like speech won't have any effect anymore.
This is now available for every Member.

Don't have a Membership yet? Please try it! But even if you don't, our new Disco Scene set lets you use the new effects (without editing capability).
(Available for every Member)


New Disco Scene set

"From Disco to Disco" is our new Disco Scene set, with handcrafted Disco Scenes for every mood and party, and it employs the new possibilities of Discotainment, for everybody.
(In App Purchase)


... and it's on your wrist, too!

Pro Members rejoice, you don't have to have your iPhone by your hands all the time - you can start/stop Discotainment and choose your active Disco Scene via your wrist!

Note: Due to privacy restrictions set by Apple, starting Discotainment can only be done with iConnectHue open on the iPhone.
(Available for Pro Members)


Other detail improvements

* You can search Magic and Disco Scenes via search bar (2023 Upgrade)
* Optimized Discotainment smoothness (put the app to background for best experience)
* Our "Young Love" Magic Scene Valentine's set is available for everybody again, until end of February
* Added support for new light types
* Fixes and stability improvements - yes, we also do that...

We have some enlightening news for you:

Discotainment Strobe improved

After some field testing, we've found ways to improve iConnectHue's strobe in Discotainment, to bring more dynamic to your party! It responds quicker - and this for everybody.

Exclusively for all Members, we also introduced these strobe modes:

• All: As usual, all lights strobe
• Sequential: Lights strobe in sequential order (by the group lights order)
• Random: Random single lights strobe

But that's not all: While holding the strobe button, swipe left or right to slow down or speed up the strobe.
(Available w/ Membership)


Single light animations

As a Member exclusive now all Members can start animations on Festavia strips, and not only that, you can run all Animations on single Gradient lights!
Note: iConnectHue will create a (in iConnectHue) hidden zone for these lights. You can clean these zones automatically when cleaning up unused animations.
(Available w/ Membership, requires up-to-date Bridge firmware)

Northern Lights Animation set

This set has been planned for a long time, and we're happy to finally bring you a beautiful full set of Northern Lights animations inspired by Northern Lights around the world.
(In app purchase)

We've prepared some interesting additions for you. In detail:

Hue Contact Sensor support

iConnectHue is the first 3rd party app to support for the new Hue Contact Sensor! Due to the way it is offered by Philips to work with it we are currently a bit limited in what we can offer with it. This means you currently can configure up to 3 rooms OR 1 zone OR your home, with switch, scene or Magic Scene actions. Alternations are currently not possible, but you're able to set the off timer down to 10 seconds instead of a minute.
(Available w/ 2023 upgrade or Membership)


Specific time sensor disabling

You can now set a time of up to 24 hours manually to disable a specific sensor, instead of being limited to the available preset times. Currently, timed disabling is not possible with the Hue Contact Sensor, where only manual toggling is possible.
(Available w/ 2023 upgrade or Membership)


New York, New York Magic Scenes

We've added this cool new handcrafted Magic Scene set to bring you big city flair into your home. Enjoy!

5.0.6:
• Halloween animations are back!
• Solved that scenes could not be used in groups (but rooms, zones)
• Added workaround for issue introduced by the latest Bridge firmware (API 1.60) that prevented any scenes to be created
• Solved problem on watch app that hindered groups to be opened on watchOS 10
• Updates for iOS 17

So this is happening... iConnectHue aged 10! Thank you for being with us, even if you haven't been around through all the time!

We've condensed our many news to these main topics:

10 year special

This is a special number - and we've decided to make it a special update. We've given iConnectHue a design overhaul, complete with skinning support and a new skin - we call it "Neon" - several visual updates - and a lot more!

Additionally, this is the first time the app is available in both French and Danish - bienvenue & velkommen!


Group tabular list

Due to feedback we've added a tabular view to the home view. On the iPhone, simply select the menu (...), when you're in group overview, then select the tabular view. On the iPad, the tabular view is available as a sidebar for quick access & quick jump. There, simply press the sidebar button left to the menu to show/hide it.
(2023 upgrade or Membership)

2023 Upgrade
The 2023 upgrade - included for all members - introduces several changes. Amongst the most notable:

Animations and Magic Scenes (latter on timers and switches) in Zones and Rooms can now use gradient lights*
The app can detect the active scene in many cases in Rooms and Zones*
Swipe down on a light on the home view to turn it off

*Also requires 2021 upgrade, since gradient support required; You may need to clean up unused animations via the bridge settings before in order for it to work for recently used animations
(2023 upgrade or Membership)

Membership improvements

Select your Animation transition type - normal, progressive (also backwards), random
Monochromatic gradient mode - use the same color with its saturation
Discotainment sparkle color also available for Basic members
More AI scenes per day - 15 for Basic, 25 for Pro

(for all members)

Light startup Mode Wizard

The brand new Pro light startup mode wizard makes your life easier! It allows you to set the startup mode (after power interruption) for multiple lights in batch mode, and to define in which mode newly added lights should be automatically configured with.
Note that for the latter to work, you'll need to always search lights within iConnectHue!
(Available for all Pro members)

Single shot timers

Single shot timers for lights and groups allow you to create a timer that is only started once - either today (if later than current time), or tomorrow (if earlier). It currently is only available without conditions like presence or group-on state. Simply switch the "repeats" button to off in the editor to enable it. Timers will delete themselves after they activated.
(Available w/ 2023 upgrade or Membership)

Other changes

These are other notable changes, and they're for free:

The bridge page has been completely reworked for better overview and easier access
Your devices now have a nice little icon for battery, brightness and temperature (if available)
Skinning support - choose between our brand new "Neon" and the known "Classic" theme under Settings->Skin

Special thanks
A special thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years - through purchases, memberships, positive reviews, reporting issues and requesting features. You are the reason we can do this!
We would also thank our translators. For Danish it is Bernth Eriksen, for French they are Samuel Vincent, Fabrice Dubois and Daniel Rondreux.
This is new to us - supporting languages we don't speak. If you spot any issues, please let us know!

2023 Upgrade
The 2023 upgrade - included for all members - introduces several changes. Amongst the most notable:

Animations and Magic Scenes (latter on timers and switches) in Zones and Rooms can now use gradient lights*
The app can detect the active scene in many cases in Rooms and Zones*
Swipe down on a light on the home view to turn it off

*Also requires 2021 upgrade, since gradient support required; You may need to clean up unused animations via the bridge settings before in order for it to work for recently used animations
(2023 upgrade or Membership)

Membership improvements

Select your Animation transition type - normal, progressive (also backwards), random
Monochromatic gradient mode - use the same color with its saturation
Discotainment sparkle color also available for Basic members
More AI scenes per day - 15 for Basic, 25 for Pro

(for all members)

Light startup Mode Wizard

The brand new Pro light startup mode wizard makes your life easier! It allows you to set the startup mode (after power interruption) for multiple lights in batch mode, and to define in which mode newly added lights should be automatically configured with.
Note that for the latter to work, you'll need to always search lights within iConnectHue!
(Available for all Pro members)

Single shot timers

Single shot timers for lights and groups allow you to create a timer that is only started once - either today (if later than current time), or tomorrow (if earlier). It currently is only available without conditions like presence or group-on state. Simply switch the "repeats" button to off in the editor to enable it. Timers will delete themselves after they activated.
(Available w/ 2023 upgrade or Membership)

Other changes

These are other notable changes, and they're for free:

The bridge page has been completely reworked for better overview and easier access
Your devices now have a nice little icon for battery, brightness and temperature (if available)
Skinning support - choose between our brand new "Neon" and the known "Classic" theme under Settings->Skin

Special thanks
A special thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years - through purchases, memberships, positive reviews, reporting issues and requesting features. You are the reason we can do this!
We would also thank our translators. For Danish it is Bernth Eriksen, for French they are Samuel Vincent, Fabrice Dubois and Daniel Rondreux.
This is new to us - supporting languages we don't speak. If you spot any issues, please let us know!

If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question? We also have an elaborate FAQ: https://iconnecthue.com/f-a-q/

So this is happening... iConnectHue aged 10! Thank you for being with us, even if you haven't been around through all the time!

We've condensed our many news to these main topics:

10 year special
We celebrate our 10th anniversary - and as a special, we discount the app by around 66% - tell all your friends. To also give something back to you, we've reduced Membership prices to 50% for first time members in the first year! Both specials are time-limited - use them before they get discontinued!

This is a special number - and we've decided to make it a special update. We've given iConnectHue a design overhaul, complete with skinning support and a new skin - we call it "Neon" - several visual updates - and a lot more!

Additionally, this is the first time the app is available in both French and Danish - bienvenue & velkommen!


Group tabular list

Due to feedback we've added a tabular view to the home view. On the iPhone, simply select the menu (...), when you're in group overview, then select the tabular view. On the iPad, the tabular view is available as a sidebar for quick access & quick jump. There, simply press the sidebar button left to the menu to show/hide it.

• Solved problem when saving gradient scenes with the latest bridge firmware
• Added informer about iOS Airplay2 bug with additional help (Discotainment makes lights red, can't record anything)
• Solved some other minor problems

4.17.0
Is it easter already?!...
Well, it's almost - and we present to you our finest selection of easter eggs in freshly painted colors. Best part: None of them are hidden! ;)

• AI generated Magic Scenes from description •

iConnectHue is the first Hue app to give you AI assisted functions - you can now generate Magic Scenes from description! Write down what you imagine, and our app will try to do the best to generate your scene! It will describe which colors it used and why.

Note: We currently deem this as beta feature. It should work, but it may still need some finetuning and feedback from you.
This function is something we need to pay for on a regular basis. So it is mainly available for members, but non-members can try it 3 times. For the same reason you can currently use it 10 times a day as Basic member, 20 times a day as Pro member. We'll see how it works for us all and may make some changes accordingly.


• Easter Magic Scenes! •

Our easter scene set is available again for everybody! Enjoy!
Seasonal free item, available for free until the end of April, thereafter available for all Members throughout the entire year.
Improved time displayment
Several of you suggested to have times not displayed relatively for last device actions. We have changed this accordingly and now show absolute times.


• Improved: Long press for real daylight •

This existing Pro feature has been improved: Previously, you long-pressed a light or group switch in the app, your lights show a color temperature based on day or night.
With this update, we've improved it - it now calculates the actual color temperature based on the position of the sun at your location, and adds an automatic gradual change over the course of the next 2 hours, so your lights adjust to the sun's course!

Please note: This only calculates the color temperature for a non-cloudy, non-polluted sky. Clouds may make sunlight colder, pollution warmer.
(Available for all Pro members)


• Set up Hue Dimmer like v1/v2 •

Some of you have asked to set up your Hue Dimmer V2 like the V1 one or vice versa via the wizard.
You can do this from now on, and we hope it eases your home setup!

4.15.3:
• Valentine's day Magic Scene set "Young love", included until end of February
• Solved several problems
• Other improvements

4.14: Color Explosion!
This is our biggest release this year! We've made iConnectHue color-correct, meaning as long as your display can show a light's color, it should be the same on both. If iConnectHue knows a light, it will show you the appropriate color picker with all its colors the light is capable of.
Also Magic Scenes, Animations and Disco Scenes can be now more colorful and have nicer looking gradients both on screen and on lights.
These changes are included for everybody! Additionally, we have these improvements:

GRADIENT COLOR PICKER

The best color picker for Hue! So far, we offered Magic Scenes to control Gradient lights and light groups to have gradients, now you can have easy, always perfect looking gradients for Gradient lights and light groups at your fingertips!

Select a gradient mode in your picker to the top left, then use the cursor to move around - all other color points will follow. You can adjust several of the modes with the thicker white cursor and narrow, widen or even invert the gradient.
With the 2022 Upgrade, you'll have the blend picker available, with a membership you'll also get these: Analogous, Complementary, Split, Triadic, Tetradic. These are all different ways to generate harmonic gradients, without the hassle to always adjust multiple colors one after each other.

FESTAVIA DIFFUSE MODE

Delivered Magic scenes without gradient (Membership/2022 Upgrade) and the color picker triadic and tetradic mode (Membership) will automatically put your Festavia lights to the diffuse mode - letting them represent what these modes were thought for.

RELATIVE BRIGHTNESS

Changing the brightness in light groups will now change each light's brightness individually instead of putting them all to the same brightness (Membership or 2022 Upgrade).

MAGIC SCENES FROM GRADIENTS AND PICTURES

You can now create Magic Scenes from a gradient via our new gradient picker, or from pictures (Membership).
We are also especially proud of our from picture mode, as it works color-correct, with high gamut images, and has been optimized to pick those colors you actually perceive as being a significant color of the image.

COPY & PASTE COLORS/GRADIENTS (PRO)

You can now easily copy & paste colors and gradients between color pickers in iConnectHue. The iOS clipboard is being used - meaning you can also bring in colors from the outside. It usually works in CIE (XY) mode, but is capable of understanding/pasting Hex color values as well.

CIE PICKER (PRO)

Our Pro users can now use a CIE color picker instead of the normal one - this is the mode Hue lights usually work in. The individual light's gamut (the colors the light is capable of) will be shown as a limiting triangle.

BETTER FAVORITE / INCLUDED COLORS

We've updated the included colors to reflect those delivered with the Hue app. "Evening light" is now "Bright".

Pro: iConnectHue can guess a color's name and will suggest it when saving it as a favorite. Also you can now opt to save the brightness with a favorite instead of just saving the color itself.

SHOW TEMPERATURE AND COLOR VALUES (PRO)

Pro users can now opt to show the color temperature and XY color value when using the pickers. You can enable this in the color picker options menu.

NEW MAGIC SCENE PACKAGES

To celebrate our new abilities, we've included 3 new scene packages: Neon, Neon gradients and More Christmas.
