iConnectHue for Philips Hue [iPhone]

Philips hue製品自体日本では種類が少ないので、このアプリで対応できないものは日本発売品のhue関連商品にはない。海外の数多くの日本未発売Philips hue関連製品も含め、このアプリで統括管理出来る。
有料だが公式アプリの上位互換になりえる - ★★★★★
HueにはDimmerスイッチ・スマートボタン・タップスイッチなど形の違うスイッチが色々あり、公式アプリではそれぞれのデバイスで微妙に違った機能や制約が割り当てられています。

例えば旧Dimmerスイッチは連続タップでシーン切り替え。スマートボタンは時間に応じて違うシーン、などです。また、なぜかゾーンとルームを組み合わせて制御できないなどの縛りが公式アプリにはあります。
ボタンの機能を公式より自由にアサインできる - ★★★★★
I tried a lot of Philips Hue apps, spend quite a bit of money on them, and none was really satisfying. Finally I found this app through “Apps we like” from the Phillips Hue official app.
The best Philips Hue control app - ★★★★★

version5.4.0が、2024年2月2日(金)にリリース

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)
