Just a few days ago, I came across a question on social media asking about Easter scenes in the Philips Hue app. Unfortunately, our favorite lighting manufacturer can’t provide those, but at least there are now eight refreshing scenes in the “Spring Breeze” category in the Hue app, which you can find right at the top of the Hue Light Scenes gallery.
At the end of the year, the developer of iConnectHue (App Store link) for iPhone and iPad has another surprise in store. There is a major update that adds support for the Hue Sync Box. However, there is one important point to note: the new feature is only available with a Pro membership.

Today, I would like to address a question that has been asked several times and has certainly been answered in eight years of Hueblog. However, it recently popped up again in our community, and my father-in-law also asked me the following question a few days ago: How can you turn on a Philips Hue lamp or the Hue Smart Plug at the touch of a button and have it turn off automatically after a certain amount of time?
If you’re on the go with an iPhone or iPad and want to get even more out of your Hue installation, there’s really only one answer in the App Store: iConnectHue. The app from German developer Stefan Göhler is available today at half price. Instead of $5.99, the app currently costs only $2.99.
There are only two weeks left until it gets really spooky again. Halloween is just around the corner, and the right lighting will make it even scarier. After the Halloween scenes have already been launched in the Philips Hue app, they are now also available in iConnectHue. iConnectHue not only offers scenes, but also an entire Halloween animation set.
The new Hue Bridge Pro was unveiled less than a week ago, and the first devices have been in use in your homes since the weekend. If you’re on the go with your iPhone and iPad and rely on iConnectHue to configure or control your Hue system, there’s now an important update.
With a retail price of less than $20, the Philips Hue dimmer switch is not only a very affordable but also a very popular way to control individual or multiple lights in a smart home with Philips Hue. A few days ago, an interesting question about the dimmer switch popped up in my comments section.
Developer Stefan Göhler has released another update with new features for his popular app iConnectHue. Before we get to that, I would like to briefly address some of your reactions, as I was misunderstood by some of you in the last article. I have no problem with iConnectHue costing money, even on an ongoing basis.
When it comes to configuring the Hue system, especially the settings for switches and motion detectors, iConnectHue remains my first choice. The app from German developer Stefan Göhler received another comprehensive update this week. Version 5.10 includes proper integration of the new Hue Smart Button, which can now be configured with all the options offered by iConnectHue.
There is yet another new update for iConnectHue, probably the most comprehensive app for configuring the Philips Hue system. With version 5.9, German developer Stefan Göhler delivers a new switch editor that makes the selection of available actions for a button press even clearer. “Our switch editor has been given a glow-up,” the developer tells us.
