iConnectHue Pro: We’ve heard your feedback
You’ve written us and we’ve collected several things our Pro users wanted. We also had a little feature list ourselves with ideas nobody yet tried to create.
The result is iConnectHue Pro – an extended version of iConnectHue. Originally we planned to make it a separate app. In the midterm we decided that we don’t want you to have another app again and hence added iConnectHue Pro’s features as an upgrade in iConnectHue.
Pro currently focuses on improved color temperature handling to control your lights thoughout the day, and improved quick access via Widget and Siri Shortcuts.
iConnectHue Pro is available via a membership. You can find our worldwide price list here.
Get access to all features and scenes
The Pro membership grants you unlimited access to ALL features of iConnectHue. You are not limited to anything, but always get access to the latest and greatest features, Magic Scenes, Disco Scenes and Animations. No additional purchases required.
Share your membership
Simply share your Pro membership via Apple’s family sharing and let your loved ones gain access to ALL features as well!
Group widget and picture
Customize each of your groups with quick access to Scenes, colors, Magic Scenes, Animations, Motion sensor temperatures, timers and instant timers.
Add a picture to your group to personalize it even more!
Access it in group overview via force touch or haptic touch (latter available with 4.0.4).
Incandescent mode
The initial color temperature can be freely set and moves along.
The best part is this: You can opt to let your hardware switches alter the color temperature as well! So if you like to have a more ambient color temperature when you dim down with e.g. your Hue Dimmer – just add a color temperature change on the side of the lightness change.
Share your content
Although also a feature of the basic membership, it’s an important feature: You can share your Magic Scenes, Disco Scenes and Animations with other members, or your family!
Daylight functionality
Long press any group/light in-app or widget lightswitch to turn on your lights depending on day or night – warm-white at night, on day it’ll calculate the white tone based on the sun’s position at your location and will adjust it over the next 2 hours.
Teach your Hue switches almost the same – long press the “on” switch for light fitting your daytime, or press button 3 on your Hue Tap for the fitting color temperature (each one needs to be set up via wizard, sun position white tone calculation not available on switches yet).
We plan to extend this functionality over the course of time.
Make sure to set your home location in the automation settings in order for this to work!
Widget on your Apple Watch
Get access to your most important functions on your Apple Watch. Just fill the widget under iConnectHue’s settings, then force-press the Watch app to toggle between widget and group mode.
Note: After getting your membership, please restart the watch app for the changes to come into effect.
Also note: Due to the complex nature of this, we do not officially support watch plus nor this on devices of shared memberships yet, only on the watch of the main member.
Extended Siri Shortcuts
Currently supported: Sleep timers and reminders, toggle Motion and Contact Sensors, change group brightness, set the color of a group via color code, as well as Disco Scenes started via Siri Shortcuts. You can add them directly within iConnectHue!
Light migration wizard
Have a light that is defective and/or that should be replaced?
This wizard makes it a breeze – just select your old light and the light that should replace it – iConnectHue adjusts scenes, groups, timers, widget entries, names and can even take over the old light’s startup mode to the new one!
Note: This functionality requires the new light to have equal or better color capabilities as/than the old light.
A detailed tutorial how to use this feature can be found here.
Light startup mode wizard
The light startup mode wizard allows you to easily modify the startup behaviour of both existing and new lamps. Choose between batch mode for configuring existing lamps or automatic light search setup for future additions, without manual adjustments. The wizard offers various startup modes, including Warm White, Last State, Last Color, and Color.
Note: This functionality requires the new/existing light to have specific color capabilities depending on your settings.
A detailed tutorial how to use this feature can be found here.
Extended color handling
Use the CIE XY color picker, show specific color and color temperature values, copy & paste colors, gradients and color temperatures.
Favorite color name suggestions plus optionally saving the favorite’s brightness.
Select from 6 different modes to create gradients from.
Create Magic Scenes from Gradients and pictures (which has been optimized for perceived colors), as well as from normal scenes (to take over colors from other apps).
Visitor Mode & Presence sort
Tell iConnectHue that you have visitors and don’t want your coming/leaving actions to happen.
Sort your light groups by presence – in case you have multiple home or locations.
