Dynamic Lighting Experiences

This Windows/macOS tool lets you sync your Philips Hue bulbs to your music, TV, movies and games. It works by analysing what's on screen and adjusting your multicolour Hue bulbs accordingly — a great way to add some extra immersion to film night or a gaming session. Hook up your computer to a TV and it's even more impressive. If you have a Hue setup at home, and own a Mac, then we definitely recommend giving Hue Menu a shot. It costs just $2.99, so it won’t cause a big strain on your wallet. (Download: Hue Menu for OS X on the Mac App Store) Be sure to check out our Mac OS X Apps. In order to use Hue Sync, you must connect the Hue Sync program to your Philips Hue bridge. Open Hue Sync if it's not already open. Select Search for bridge. Once your bridge is found, place a checkmark to indicate you agree with the terms and conditions and privacy policy, then select Connect. You will be asked to press the button on your Hue. You don’t have to pick up your phone or yell across the room at Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. Here are some easy ways to control your Hue lights right from your Mac. We’ll cover a few solutions here: The built-in smarthome features in macOS and a convenient third-party utility for controlling Hue lights from your Mac’s menu bar. Philips recently opened up Hue’s API so third party developers could create add-on software and programs, and Hue Menu is one such software. Hue Menu has controls for on/off, brightness.

Feel energized or relaxed with professionally designed experiences combining light and sound. Over 40 mixable and dynamic scenes with simple room and lighting group control, such as mountain chill, fireplace, jungle night, fire and ice, rainforest, fireworks and many more!

We display the current temperatures from your Hue motion sensors inbuilt thermometers on the app home screen. Keep tabs on the temperature changes around your home.

• Great Hue controller app . I mostly have been using my IOS devices to control my Hue system. Many apps there are either $ scalpers for scenes and effects, or, are just plain junk. This app appears to be crafted by a developer who has been making frequent updates and new features, and who doesn’t believe in milking his users for decent effects. The Disco mode is quite good, and is still being tweaked. Also the support and info on his website is superior to most that I’ve seen in Apple land. A bonus is that I can also use this app on my XBOX One, with no extra payment. I’m looking forward to a “bright and colorful” future with this app!

• The best Windows Hue app on the market at the moment. I have used a couple of other Hue app on Windows, and this is the best of them, I have it installed on my 950XL, Surface Pro, desktop and Xbox One, and will also purchase this app for my wife for her 950, Surface Pro and Xbox. After my first submission I contacted the dev and suggested a timer function, this has now been added and I can happily say this app is now my exclusive Hue app, as mentioned it runs on my 950XL, Surface Pro 3, desktop PC and Xbox One and I can happily give this app 10 out of 5. Well done HueDynamic on a really impressive Universal app.

• Worth it for disco mode alone! There’s a ton of presets here for different lighting settings, all of which are great, but really it’s worth the price just for the excellent disco mode. I’ve used other apps trying to do the same thing using my phone mic, but this beats them hands down. It’s triggered by whatever’s going through your sound card so it’s very fast and highly configurable. Excellent app. I wonder how I can install Hue lights in the floor so I can go full Travolta!

• How apps should be! The best hue app.I’ve tried loads of apps but this is the best. The sheer number of features it has, the best disco mode of any I’ve tried including android and iOS, great dynamic scenes etc etc. I use it on my mobile and laptops. Couldn’t be happier.

• Best Hue app AND the dev is extremely responsive. I don’t normally write many reviews but I have to say this is the best Windows Hue app out there, it has a ton of features and no in app purchases to force you to pay more to get all the goodies. The developer is the fastest and most responsive developer I have came across on Windows. I emailed asking for the ability to control an individual light bulb rather than a group on Sunday at 1:30am UK and the developer responded extremely quickly back thanking me for the feedback. Then within 24 hours an update was out that added the feature! I was so surprised it was implemented on a Sunday and updated so quickly but you do really get developers that are truly committed to providing amazing support. Buy it for the features and the massive support the developers provide. Its really worth it and if you think it needs a feature simply ask and I am confident they will do anything they can to accommodate your request. This is NOT a vapourware app!

• Great app on the Windows platform. Excellent implementation. Works perfectly. Nice animations with the lights. Great potential for future scenes too. Well worth the price if you have Hue, and are using the Windows environment over Apple. Well done, great application, being used on my phone, Xbox and PC’s.

• Fantastic app! Everything about this app I love! The dynamic scenes are amazing, and it includes features that I have been looking to use on Windows but haven’t previously found such as music syncing and camera syncing! If you are looking to use your hue lights on Windows, this is by far the best app you can get!

• Great job on the Disco Music Mode! This has been the best app on Windows or my Android phone when it comes to responding to the bass and treble and overall is a great controller app and can’t wait to see what’s added next! Highly recommended.

• YES!!! Works great and it’s effects are better than Android and iOS ….lots of features. Now this a real app!

• The best hue effects app period. It has the lowest latency for disco mode out of all apps I have tried, the ambiances are amazing and the app is absolutely beautiful/easy to use. I cannot recommend it more!
