hueManic for Android
Love this feature for party nights, holidays, or romantic nights. Very diverse but would like to see the features actually work. We have the option to select which lights to participate in the disco feature. However, they all continue instead of the ones I selected. Clean up the glitches. Keep up the awesome work Hue. Ppl always ask about my lights and where I get them from.
Is this the app you need to have the sunrise effect when waking up with sleep as android? Is there a more detailed instruction for adding a task in Tasker? I followed the website and the description and can't get Tasker to work. Says the EXTRAs are invalid.
Currently when I try to zone the lights and only run the scenes on certain lights I run into a problem where only one light runs the scene. If I toggle the selected lights setting the scenes will run on all the lights in the house like it's supposed to but it leaves out 1 hue light strip and another hue bulb. If I could get the zones to work so I could enjoy the awesome scenes without affecting every room in the house or just one bulb then I would happily update my review and Go Pro!
Fun app for the kids. Disco Party Lights that respond to sounds/music heard from the device's mic and translates to alternating lights thru the Phillips Hue Bridge = tons of family fun. I paid the $2 pro to support the developers, good UI, good features. I ran into some glitches but self resolved with a quick reinstall. Cool features to see in a future update, ability to run different light sequences for different light groups, example: playing music in the play room with disco lights, but have Meditation or other for the Mrs in the bedroom. This works great disconnected with our Sonos since it uses the mic, and though it was never a Sonos platform app, would be icing if it connected for a REAL light-audio show. Just dreaming in color :)
Updated my review after playing with the settings. Some other people have mentioned that tinkering with the volume slider helps, and it does with the disco lights. Fireworks is a decent visualisation but could do with more frequent flashes.
Missed the beat. To test, play "60 BPM metronome" from YouTube. I have a powerful Galaxy S7 yet the app still misses beats regularly in Party Lights mode.
I'm having fun with it. Will go pro after I update cc.
Doesng work as well if the volume slider control is up all the way. About 20% works great for me. I have the speed at 2x.. very responsive.
I'm having trouble getting the tasker intents to work. Afaik I'm doing it correctly. Does it work with 1st generation hub?
I love the simplicity of the user interface, if I had one recommendation it would be to be able to pick the colours for party mode as it seems to favour red and pink if the volume is all the way up. otherwise it just works amazingly well.
A mauve screen loads then after a few seconds I get a message saying "no bridge found"
It found my hue bridge but it keeps giving an error message of "bridge not responding". How can I fix this?
Works as advertised, party mode is cool but could be more sensitive to the music being played.. granted I tested heavy metal with fast kick drums and it did not fair well
One suggestion - can we get an option to cast for the audio? Sending audio to my Google Home would make this a daily must have app. Thanks!
Low light intensity by default and does not change nothing by sliding to more intensity. Bridge 2.0 and Hue Iris
It just works out of the proverbial box. No hassle. It transformed my living room from a nice dinner spot to a bouncing a disco within a few heartbeats.
App works well but stops video from recording on phone at the same time. As soon as i turn the app off i can go back to using video. Please fix
Could not setup. App found bridge but still required me to tap bridge button which froze app. Even manually entering MAC and IP was required to tap button and frozen again.
I like the material design, the experience is fun. I have the ivory colored bulbs and all the free themes are still cool. I called my partner into the room because I was surprised by how fun the light and sound move together. Does not have a timer, or one I could find.
Great for controlling the lights to music, however it does override my alexa voice commands so I have to use my phone to turn it on/off. It's not a huge issue and is probably fixable.
Definitely a must have for Hue users. This will show off what your Hue system can do. The fireworks show with sound effects and corresponding, perfectly synced lights is awesome.
Seemed okay. Upgraded to the paid version and it stopped working.
Interface is slow, presets are OK but seem to freeze a bunch. All in all, average. Still can't find a great bulb controller.
If you add the ability to have the sleep tracking android app wake me up to the sound and lights of the ocean, i will buy your App. How hard can it be?
Its ok but im not understanding why i have to keep turning it back on every 30 minutes. Kind of annoying.
I like the scenes but the only thing missing is the ability to schedule them.
It's a decent app but almost unusable without paying $1.99 for the pro version (forced wait times and constant pop ups), and the extra features you get are not worth the money.
Pretty cool to play with, wish there was a finer control over speed and the ability to make custom scenes using your own audio, also casting audio would be perfect.
It would be nice when you exit this app that your original colors and settings would be restored when you go into this app it changes everything which I understand would be okay it has to but again it is frustrating when you go into this app remember you have to reconfigure all your light settings over that is a big hassle I have 12 lights you can see why this is frustrating for me hope you can improve this
Works as described, not sure how useful it actually is though. Still, it's entertaining
Not any better than other hue apps. Lightning was just stupid.
When I use the app for music I'm unable to record videos with snapchat
Can't connect to Bridge over DNS. That's a real shame.
Love the effects but wish there was a little bit more. But it still great
Only works with 6 light bulbs. I'm guessing you need to buy pro for more? Lights don't flash with the music beat. Galaxy S7 with Android 7.
Yes it does what it says it will... I rarely give 5's... I save that for 'over and above' performance. This one was really good
Upgraded to Pro to support efforts! Keep going! Please add: IFTTT support, running your modes at variable intensities on main screen, and widgets!
I will like it more if I can get my music to sync with this app. But it don't. Any suggestions?
I think this app is great. Running Jungle in the whole house. It would earn a fifth star if Chromecast support was added.

Nice app it would be better if u could control more to use for bands Iive. A digital frequency control and a drum pad to change color frequency for live shows. Adding more control for color to musical instrumet. If you open party lights first the the first version of philips hue you can change the scene colors to change appearance with some delay. Makes it so much better. Does not work with hue new upfate.
