I downloaded the free app. It looks great. So I paid for the available upgrades Every time I tried to create a preset, it failed. I asked the developer for help but was ignored. 2 stars because the free version is good but limited without the paid upgrades.

This app is great but a good widget would make it awesome. Please make a 2x1 widget that has a single on/off toggle and a plus and minus for dimming control. You could model it after the Hue Pro app widget.

However, the widget is not good. Please make a 2x1 widget that has a single on/off toggle and a plus and minus for dimming control. You should model it after the Hue Pro app widget because it is perfect. This app is great but a good widget would make it awesome.
