We Hue for Philips Hue

Basically the app allows you to add multiple bridges. When added, and operating the app you wouldn’t even know multiple bridges are working in the background. Nice. I have 4 bridges myself. Yeah I know. It’s a bit nutty but I have been an addict ever since the day Philips brought Hue to market. Basically I use the bridges to split my home in sections like the basement, downstairs floor, everything outside around the home and upstairs. With most apps it’s impossible to manage a setup like that. With this app it exactly works as it should. Even better would be if I can create my own master groups. Maybe a next version?

Have been using the app now for a few days and must say that I find very few reason to use any other Hue app by now. Basically it has all. I can access my rooms, lights, controls, change base settings and the color picker is great. The easy access to scenes (and love the white ambiance buttons) is also good. But … was trying to change one of my dimmers (use one of the scenes under the on button) and noticed that We Hue doesn’t allow me to change those settings with my dimmer. So an absolute 5 star if We Hue can make sure all settings can be controlled. For now 4, because I do like it !!

I have been a Philips Hue fan from day 1. Didn’t make a count lately but probably have over 40 lights at the moment. What I also have is that beautiful Beyond desktop lamp. Same artwork is used in the app icon. Beyond has two light sources in it. Many apps show this as two separate bulbs. But thats not the way you control it. It is just one desktop fixture. We Hue seems to deal with this as one fixture still allowing to change the individual color of the top and bottom light source. Honestly there is more small good stuff. Other than easy navigation some of the quick links a very handy. I am thrilled about the simple 3D Touch options (more choices would even be better) and other simple things (especially handy when you have as many lights as I have) that you can quickly collapse and expand lists. Bravo especially for a first version.
