Is IConnectHue for Philips Hue not working / having issues for you?

Version 5.4.0 02 February 2024

New in iConnectHue 5.4 A happy new year to everybody. You know our fireworks - but still we'd like to start with a bang: Discotainment 2.0 - the next leap for Discotainment! If you tried it before and wanted more: Give it a fresh try! Beat stabilizer It does what it says - and more. It can hold the tempo when there's a short loss of the beat, and it can predict beats. What does this Voodoo magic do, you ask? Well, it means that effects are now more in time with your beats - because we can compensate the delay when recording via microphone. This is our new year's present to you - it's automatically there for everybody! Note: We still recommend Electronic and Pop music with clear bass line for this to work best. Pulsate effect A new effect that just looks great - lights alternating brightness with the beat, especially when combined with other effects (more on that right after this). Choose the desired minimum and maximum brightness via slider. (Available for every Member or w/ 2023 upgrade) Automatic effect mode Now we have so many effects - what if I don't want to be stuck at my phone all time? "Automatic" is the answer - iConnectHue can now play different effects over time, ready with sliders for you to choose how much you want from each one, and how often (in beats) they should happen. If you set "Pass through" to 0%, you solely use beats for light control, and other disturbances like speech won't have any effect anymore. This is now available for every Member. Don't have a Membership yet? Please try it! But even if you don't, our new Disco Scene set lets you use the new effects (without editing capability). (Available for every Member) New Disco Scene set "From Disco to Disco" is our new Disco Scene set, with handcrafted Disco Scenes for every mood and party, and it employs the new possibilities of Discotainment, for everybody. (In App Purchase) ... and it's on your wrist, too! Pro Members rejoice, you don't have to have your iPhone by your hands all the time - you can start/stop Discotainment and choose your active Disco Scene via your wrist! Note: Due to privacy restrictions set by Apple, starting Discotainment can only be done with iConnectHue open on the iPhone. (Available for Pro Members) Other detail improvements * You can search Magic and Disco Scenes via search bar (2023 Upgrade) * Optimized Discotainment smoothness (put the app to background for best experience) * Our "Young Love" Magic Scene Valentine's set is available for everybody again, until end of February * Added support for new light types * Fixes and stability improvements - yes, we also do that... •• Please help us with a positive App store rating - thanks for your support! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support!

Version 4.17.2 21 April 2023

• Solved problem when editing Motion sensor cancel/disable actions • Solved problem in Pro daylight function in some regions 4.17.0 Is it easter already?!... Well, it's almost - and we present to you our finest selection of easter eggs in freshly painted colors. Best part: None of them are hidden! ;) • AI generated Magic Scenes from description • iConnectHue is the first Hue app to give you AI assisted functions - you can now generate Magic Scenes from description! Write down what you imagine, and our app will try to do the best to generate your scene! It will describe which colors it used and why. Note: We currently deem this as beta feature. It should work, but it may still need some finetuning and feedback from you. This function is something we need to pay for on a regular basis. So it is mainly available for members, but non-members can try it 3 times. For the same reason you can currently use it 10 times a day as Basic member, 20 times a day as Pro member. We'll see how it works for us all and may make some changes accordingly. • Easter Magic Scenes! • Our easter scene set is available again for everybody! Enjoy! Seasonal free item, available for free until the end of April, thereafter available for all Members throughout the entire year. Improved time displayment Several of you suggested to have times not displayed relatively for last device actions. We have changed this accordingly and now show absolute times. • Improved: Long press for real daylight • This existing Pro feature has been improved: Previously, you long-pressed a light or group switch in the app, your lights show a color temperature based on day or night. With this update, we've improved it - it now calculates the actual color temperature based on the position of the sun at your location, and adds an automatic gradual change over the course of the next 2 hours, so your lights adjust to the sun's course! Please note: This only calculates the color temperature for a non-cloudy, non-polluted sky. Clouds may make sunlight colder, pollution warmer. (Available for all Pro members) • Set up Hue Dimmer like v1/v2 • Some of you have asked to set up your Hue Dimmer V2 like the V1 one or vice versa via the wizard. You can do this from now on, and we hope it eases your home setup! If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support!

Version 4.16.0 10 March 2023

New in iConnectHue 4.16 All the... small things... This version focuses on making things easier for you. We've taken care about many parts of the app for easier access - if you'll need it, you'll know! ;)... We also introduce these things: • Turn off w/ Tap Dial Switch & Lutron Aurora • You can now enable to turn off your lights by quickly turning the Hue Tap Dial Switch or Lutron Aurora to the left: Just go to your device, select the top left arrow, and enable the function. Turn it quickly for around a second to work. (Available w/ 2022 upgrade or Membership) • St. Patrick's Day Magic Scene set • For the first time we have a Magic Scene set for St. Patrick's Day - to get you and your green party illuminated! Seasonal free item, available for free until the end of March, thereafter available for all Members throughout the entire year. • Magic Scene and Animation search • It's easier to find Magic Scenes and Animations by now by pulling down the list and entering a name or even a tag (try "party" or "fire", for example) - available for everybody. • Resolved problems w/ weekend mode • Some of you had problems with the weekend mode, where the bridge kept deleting the weekend part - we could find a workaround. If you were affected, please just set up the weekend functionality again. •• Please help us with a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue.

Version 4.15.0 21 December 2022

4.15: We've added animation support for Festavia lights for Pro Members! Tap the light, swipe to animations and pick what you like! It's BETA currently and will create a special Zone for this light! Non-Members can try Magic Scenes from Gradients and Pictures up to 3 times. 4.14: Color Explosion! This is our biggest release this year! We've made iConnectHue color-correct, meaning as long as your display can show a light's color, it should be the same on both. If iConnectHue knows a light, it will show you the appropriate color picker with all its colors the light is capable of. Also Magic Scenes, Animations and Disco Scenes can be now more colorful and have nicer looking gradients both on screen and on lights. These changes are included for everybody! Additionally, we have these improvements: GRADIENT COLOR PICKER The best color picker for Hue! So far, we offered Magic Scenes to control Gradient lights and light groups to have gradients, now you can have easy, always perfect looking gradients for Gradient lights and light groups at your fingertips! Select a gradient mode in your picker to the top left, then use the cursor to move around - all other color points will follow. You can adjust several of the modes with the thicker white cursor and narrow, widen or even invert the gradient. With the 2022 Upgrade, you'll have the blend picker available, with a membership you'll also get these: Analogous, Complementary, Split, Triadic, Tetradic. These are all different ways to generate harmonic gradients, without the hassle to always adjust multiple colors one after each other. FESTAVIA DIFFUSE MODE Delivered Magic scenes without gradient (Membership/2022 Upgrade) and the color picker triadic and tetradic mode (Membership) will automatically put your Festavia lights to the diffuse mode - letting them represent what these modes were thought for. RELATIVE BRIGHTNESS Changing the brightness in light groups will now change each light's brightness individually instead of putting them all to the same brightness (Membership or 2022 Upgrade). MAGIC SCENES FROM GRADIENTS AND PICTURES You can now create Magic Scenes from a gradient via our new gradient picker, or from pictures (Membership). We are also especially proud of our from picture mode, as it works color-correct, with high gamut images, and has been optimized to pick those colors you actually perceive as being a significant color of the image. COPY & PASTE COLORS/GRADIENTS (PRO) You can now easily copy & paste colors and gradients between color pickers in iConnectHue. The iOS clipboard is being used - meaning you can also bring in colors from the outside. It usually works in CIE (XY) mode, but is capable of understanding/pasting Hex color values as well. CIE PICKER (PRO) Our Pro users can now use a CIE color picker instead of the normal one - this is the mode Hue lights usually work in. The individual light's gamut (the colors the light is capable of) will be shown as a limiting triangle. BETTER FAVORITE / INCLUDED COLORS We've updated the included colors to reflect those delivered with the Hue app. "Evening light" is now "Bright". Pro: iConnectHue can guess a color's name and will suggest it when saving it as a favorite. Also you can now opt to save the brightness with a favorite instead of just saving the color itself. SHOW TEMPERATURE AND COLOR VALUES (PRO) Pro users can now opt to show the color temperature and XY color value when using the pickers. You can enable this in the color picker options menu. NEW MAGIC SCENE PACKAGES To celebrate our new abilities, we've included 3 new scene packages: Neon, Neon gradients and More Christmas. •• Please help us with a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue.

Version 4.9.3 04 January 2022

No fireworks allowed? You don't want to pester the environment with real fireworks or want to save money? We have the solution for you! Our brand new "Happy new yeah!" animation package can help you - for a fraction of the price of real fireworks, and it works without any limitations! This new package adds some great animations you haven't seen before. The best: You can put them on your switches to trigger them instantly - or on timers to trigger them just at the right moment (requires Membership or Animation upgrade). The new package and the old one are both available to be tried out. Check them right now! Gradients via remote access We have updated our remote access functionality so that you can also control gradient lights remotely. (Available for all members or w/ 2021 Upgrade or purchase after February 2021; Requires current bridge firmware) New outdoor motion sensor supported Since version 4.9.3: There's a new outdoor motion sensor with "hue" added on the top instead of just saying "Philips". Since it only requires some changes on our side, its support is included for free this time. Still, new devices mean work, this is an exception, and we'd be happy if you would support us for our work, with a good review or a purchase. Thank you! 4.8.0 Two words: Gradient support! This is our biggest release in 2021, with many improvements under the hood as well as on the outside. These are the changes: • Gradient support • Halloween animations for members • Apple Family Sharing for Pro available • New motion sensor supported • Additional improvements Gradient support We are proud to present you full gradient lights support - and EVERY type of them! You can apply Magic Scenes to individual Gradient lights with a single tap, as well as in the group - which still puts a gradient on your gradient lights (you can disable this in the settings, if you wish so). In addition to this, you can now create and use scenes with gradients all over the app - for timers, switches and coming/leaving, for example! Drag & drop between gradient lights works as well to transfer a gradient. The Pro light migration wizard to replace old lights with new ones supports them. You can use them in your widget as well as in Siri Shortcuts. Halloween animations for members Since several of you asked, we extended the availability of our Halloween scenes until mid December, and we will now make available Halloween scenes for our members over the full year! Of course they will be available the next Halloween for everybody else, as you know it. Apple Family Sharing for Pro From now on you can share your Pro membership easily via Apple Family Sharing. As consequence, the old sharing via Airdrop is not available any longer. If you haven't set up family sharing yet, please refer our FAQ on how to do it! In case you run into problems, don't hesitate and contact us from the menu! New motion sensor supported There's a new motion sensor with "hue" added on the top instead of just saying "Philips". It has more sensitivity levels and can "see" further - 5 instead of 7 metres. It also has IP 42 level of protection. Additional improvements Don't judge a book by its cover: This version has A LOT of changes under the hood - about 400 individual changes! Here are the ones important to you: • Improvements to Animation, Magic scene and timer editor • Improvements to color selection pages • Several menus improved or reworked • Several views slightly reworked • Resolved several small problems •• Please help us with a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue. Thank you! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question?

Version 4.7.2 29 October 2021

4.7.2: • Solved problems some of you were having due to the new changes • Added (and enabled) option to automatically fix your presence upon app opening, since several users are affected by iOS' 15 geofencing bug. Please also try to update to iOS 15.1, as this seems to have helped several users We've been busy as a bee - and now you can see some great, but not yet all, of the results. These are the changes: Discotainment with Gradient lights (again) We now support all gradient lights with Discotainment! You should just have the latest bridge firmware installed and may need to turn it on via the menu (three dots), and you should be ready to start! If Gradient lights only appear as one color, set up the device's orientation in the Hue app! Halloween will be spooky again! As usual, we enable our "Spooky Halloween" animation set, this time we've spiced it with some later improvements of our animation engine. The set will - as always - be available until mid of November. In case your gradient lights only show a single color, please try to re-create the Entertainment group. Quicker updates iConnectHue now uses new functions of your Hue bridge, enabling it to show changes to your lights and devices almost immediately! This was quite some work (it actually allowed Gradient Discotainment), and more will follow for us, since we'll need to update the whole iConnectHue to be compatible with future bridge firmwares. (Available for all members or w/ 2021-Upgrade) For the same reasons, we don't support the old round bridge any longer officially - meaning we can't guarantee functionality with it! Currently you can still connect to it, but please understand that this won't be possible for much longer. Please switch immediately to a new bridge to be able to continue to use iConnectHue!. Holiday scenes Our new holiday scenes bring you to far places - even if you stayed in your country this year. (Available for all members or via in app purchase) Switch to Apple Family Sharing for Pro soon Apple now allows us to enable their family sharing for our Pro membership, hence we will soon disable Family Sharing via Airdrop and will allow you to use our Pro membership via Apple's Family Sharing. We believe this is the better solution to most of you. Please write us if you think this Family Sharing won't work for you instead of our Airdrop method. Additional improvements • Quick device lookup by name - swipe down your devices list and start typing (w/ Membership or 2021 upgrade) • Added support for new light types • Additional improvements as usual •• Please give us a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue. Thank you! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question? We also have an elaborate FAQ: https://iconnecthue.com/f-a-q/.

Version 4.6.8 19 August 2021

4.6.8 • Solved some smaller problems • Please note: If you upgrade your Hue bridge firmware, you can't use the Gradient Lightstrip's individual segments, iConnectHue detects and informs now about this and will switch back to single color mode (we will issue an update once Philips lets 3rd parties use the new API for the strip) Good news, everyone: iConnectHue now supports the brand new Hue Wall Switch module! Beginning now you can set up you Wall Switch Module with all of iConnectHue's capabilities. Since we wished the module to be capable to do more we taught it more: • You can set up up to 5 instead of 3 slots • You toggle on/off even if there is another alternation already set up (the group-on-state alternation currently must be set up last!) • In case of a rocker switch, you can decide by yourself whether to toggle off between steps or at end • Many functions can be set up even quicker by the wizard • It uses less resources when set up with iConnectHue Because of the module we reworked our switch editor in many places significantly, so you can toggle on/off and have other actions at the same time on the same switch. Since we thought this might be handy also for other single button switches, we offer this functionality for the Hue Smart Button and Lutron Aurora as well. We invested a lot of effort and time into these new functions, therefore we offer them in the "2021 Upgrade", which combines current and other small improvements of this year into one handy package. As always, these new functions are included for our members as well as for our recent customers who bought iConnectHue recently - back to 1st of March 2021. For clearer overview, we renamed the existing "Level 1 Upgrade" to "2020 Upgrade". Pro Improvements Our Pro members can now easily change the group brightness when in group overview. Additional improvements • With the 2021 Upgrade, sleep timers on switches can now be restarted (only those that turn off at end; Edit existing actions to take the changes over) • You can now opt to increase or decrease relative brightness when adding this action - which should help you with rotated Friends-of-Hue switches • Improvements in remote access setup • Simplified setup of Group-On-Alternations • We improved several details •• Please give us a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue. Thank you! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate, contact us from within the app. You will surely get support! Need a quick check for a question? We also have an elaborate FAQ: https://iconnecthue.com/f-a-q/ 4.5.0 We start into a new year full of hopes. You don't need a special hope for new devices for us though - we now support the new Hue Dimmer V2, as the first 3rd party Hue app, right in time when it's starting to market! Our graphician did her best and created a nice new graphic of it, and we for ourselves teached the wizard new tricks, so you can set it up with just a few taps and as you'd expect it from its new layout. Please note that this switch may not be available immediately in your region. Its release date is January 26 in Europe and March 2 in North America. Note: This is the last update added to our "Upgrade Level 1", as it now received a long list of new functions. New hardware and new small features will be added to a new package. As always, as a member you don't need to care about this - it's included for you! 4.4.0 • Our new animation set "Happy new year!" brings new year's mood to your home! • Spice up your christmas: "More Christmas!" animation package and "Christmas magic" scene package • Region specific plug symbols; Is your symbol incorrect/missing? Let us know! • Solved a problem where transition times would not be stored for certain timers - just set them to the value you want and save.

But your devices will know now! • Configure your weekend days individually (in device editor via the 3-dot menu) • Works with all your devices • Even works for coming/leaving actions (for all users) • Week and weekend side can have different alternation types • Combine it with all the functions you know You can find the functionality under each of your devices after having set up at least one action. Then choose "Alternations" on the top right and select to add a weekend alternation. This was quite a thing to tackle - with many decisions to make - so it is an in app purchase - of course it's free for all our Basic and Pro members. In general, we've put a lot of attention to the switch editor and tackled multiple pitfalls: • Alternation setup is now a wizard • You can select what the current actions should be used for • Friends of Hue switches now can be set up for each side without full delete • Action selection for all scene types and colors reworked • Easier time slot editing • Easier deletion of all slot actions at once • Enable/disable motion sensor actions (w/ Level 1 upgrade, membership, free for version 4 purchasers) • Several more detail improvements Sunrise/Sunset & conditional light timers We've improved light timers to be functionally on par with group timers - so you can now configure them for sunrise or sunset, and add conditions like presence and/or their on state. (w/ Level 1 upgrade, membership, free for version 4 purchasers) Magic Scene & Animation duplication (Basic & Pro) Based on your feedback, you can now duplicate your Magic Scenes & Animations with the ease of a tap. Select the animation or scene, then select its menu. Select to duplicate it. Note: This is only available for your own content, not delivered content. This feature is available for every Basic & Pro member. Hue app scenes in timers and switches We learned that you want to use your Hue scenes in iConnectHue as well, even though we only offered this feature for a easier start with iConnectHue. We once had to disable this functionality due to synchronization issues - and we want our app to work for you, and not only in some cases. Newer bridge firmwares help us to circumvent this issue, and so you can now use your Hue app scenes for timers and in the switch editor. (requires an up to date bridge firmware, scenes have to be written by current Hue app version) UI Improvements We've put a lot of effort into the app to bring you these improvements: • Improved, clearer layout • Better readable font • Font sizes adjust to your iOS settings • Improved menu system (follow the white dots!) • More and improved icons We hope you like the changes, and they help you in your daily use. New Magic Scene package The new package Cities gives you a nice collection of city themed Magic Scenes. It's available for our usual prices and included for every member. Several other improvements Ever wondered what we do all the time? We've made around 800 individual changes since the last release, including the changes above. You don't see every single one of them, and you shouldn't, because otherwise we may have made a mistake. But you might be interested in these: • Motion sensor Lux values are now shown • Empty device battery warning in the menu • Improved bridge selection in case of multibridge • More supported light types and -icons • Better support for VPN connections •• Please give us a positive App Store rating, if you like these changes or want to support iConnectHue. Thank you! •• If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate and use the contact function in the app. You will surely get support!
