all 4 hue (for Philips Hue‪)‬ 4+

The app all 4 HUE is the easiest app to use to control your Hue lights. Other apps have such complicated “rules” and the timers are horrible. I’ve been on Apple Mac’s since 1989 so I can usually navigate to find a solution to fit my needs but not on most Hue apps. All I need to do now is figure out how to separate lights in a group so I can put alternate “turn off” on one of them. I bet I find it relatively quick! Thank you all 4 HUE crew.

You can easily create new light groups in the section "Groups & Rooms" in the app. Just press the PLUS symbol in the title bar in this section and select the lights you want to group in the new group with the checkboxes. If you want to have only one light in your new group, just select one of them. If you need further assistance, please contact apps@rene-wahl.de and your request will be answered within 12h. Thank you.

Lag with the app, in coordination with the website, caused the extension to be purchased rather than the main app upgrade. But they have ignored multiple emails about it. They need to rip off customers in order to make a living apparently. Bad business.

Response to developer - I’m sorry if I gave the impression that I was 15 and ignorant. I am not. I emailed you from the app at the email you include below and that was approximately 1.5-2 weeks ago. I am quite aware that this is a 3rd party app also. When I purchased the upgrade, I first clicked on the multi upgrade and realized what it was and then went to the correct one. However, due to lag in the system the purchase ended up being the first one rather than the correct one and this I have the extension portion without having the upgrade of the main part (when I had no need for the extension). I emailed all of this to your email and had no reply. Only then did I give the review.

Second response - I check my spam filter daily due to work concerns and it has not come on. But I got your second one over the weekend and responded to it (also over the weekend). Note, the second arrived without issue. You may tell me what you first said or resend that one. Your second did not address my issue, it was only a repeat of your response here.

[EDIT 14.01.2018] I received your first mail on Dec, 30 2:43 PM (Germany local time) and replied to it on Dec, 30 3:48 PM. The response time was only 1 hour! Yesterday I received your second mail request on Jan, 13 03:36 AM and replied to it on Jan, 13 08:32 AM, response time was 5 hours due to time shift. I cannot image where the mails got lost, but it was not on my side. Please check your SPAM filter. If you still did not receive any mail from me please write from another mail account. Thank you.

I love this app. It lets me do almost anything imaginable with my smart lighting and simple appliances.

Using this app with the Philips Hue bridge and zigbee devices you can program complex lighting and/or smart plug schemes.

I have the Hue bulbs all through my house. Some have been setup with “scenes” that slowly brighten or adjust colors over 30 or more minutes. Others are controlled by passive infrared (presence) sensors, but only when other lights are off or the room is a certain brightness already. Different levels of light based on the time of day, or how the wall switch was manipulated.

The possibilities are endless!

P.S. - Thank you for adding in the extra FoH switch options!

Thank you very much for this positive review :-)
