Tag-A-Hue
Free AppAbout Tag-A-Hue
Phillips Hue lights are amazing, and so is the power of NFC! with Tag-A-Hue, we have combined the strengths of both to give you a powerful new way to control your home lights.
Use this app to associate a specific bulb or group of bulbs with an NFC tag, and when that tag is scanned, the app will detect whether those bulbs are on or off and toggle them accordingly*.
*NOTE*
This app can only manage the software state of the bulb. It has to be on from the socket for it to work. If you have a switch attached to the lightsocket, it must be ON for this app to work.

Tells me to press bridge button, but never find it after pressing. Other apps can find it fine.

The app is working absolutely fine with my nexus 6. App basically programmes a toggle for switching your selected light or group of lights on and off. Great thing is that when you turn on the lights using the NFC tag they resume in the same scene/light color they were when you switched them off.

Not able to read any tags. Uninstalling.

I like the idea, and it seems like it should work. However, when creating a group, the settings (which bulbs belong to it) don't seem to "stick": everytime I edit it, it shows a different set of bulbs as selected. Then, although it claims a tag was written, it doesn't perform the correct action when I tap it.

I love the concept of this app, but unfortunately it won't work for me. Every time I scan a written tag, it loads a completely incorrect setup. I have played around testing this and cannot get it working dependably enough to use it full time.

This app does just what I want it to do, what else can I say?

Excellent App! Easy install and navigation. Love these ingenious apps that make the tedium of life, a touch of a tag. Thanks R2

Would be better if could control lights in groups.

Doesn't connect to bridge as loads of other people have already said.. Clearly no one from the devs are listening. How quite frankly an app can fail to do the basic function of even connecting and still be released to the store is unbelievable.. Shows how much effort the devs have put into it and how much they are listening to the feedback too.. Steer clear until they can be bothered to get it to even connect to your bridge.
