Full-featured Philips Hue remote for Chrome

ChromeHue allows you to control the Philips Hue bulbs from your browser by using a nice user-friendly UI.

NEW: I made an experimental ChromeHue version for Firefox, you can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chromehue/

UPDATE NOTE 2.1.4 BETA (December 21, 2017)

Important bugs fixed

UPDATE NOTE 2.1.3 BETA (March 24, 2017)

- The Color Picker has been fully reworked to handle 2 of the 3 methods offered by PhilipsHue: "Hue/Sat"" and "CIE Color Space". The third method "Color temperature" will arrive soon.
Note: CIE Color Space method is much more accurate (mostly for Green, Cyan and Orange).
- Minor bugs fixed

UPDATE NOTE 2.0.2 BETA (March 15, 2017)

-Fix scrollbar issue on the screen to find a bridge

UPDATE NOTE 2.0.1 BETA (March 15, 2017)

UPDATE NOTE 2.0.0 BETA (March 15, 2017)

- ChromeHue has been fully rewritten and redesigned
- Room management
- The app can now manage multiple bridges (you can switch between them from the sidebar)
- In-app purchases has been disabled during the beta period and will be reactivated at the end of the beta. Of course, no need to buy the group management again if you have already purchased it
- A FireFox version is coming

UPDATE NOTE 1.1.6 (October 5, 2015):

Bug fix: Can't buy the group management feature from MAC OSX

UPDATE NOTE 1.1.4 (October 4, 2015):

The development of ChromeHue takes me a lot of time, for this reason i've decided to monetize the group feature. This feature costs 0.99 USD and allow to use the group management feature forever. I hope you understand this choice.

UPDATE NOTE 1.1.2 (October 3, 2015):

- ChromeHue is now ready to work with the Bridge-v2 update available October 6.
- New authentication system (pairing required)
- You can now edit your groups!

Features list:

- Switch bulbs on/off (for lights and groups)
- Change brightness (for lights and groups)
- Change hue (lights and groups)
- Blink bulbs (lights and groups)
- Enable color loop (lights and groups)
- Display/edit bulb informations
- Create/edit/delete groups
- Very easy setup and friendly UI
- Auto-discover your bridge on your local network

More information :

- Developed and tested with the bridge sofware version 01023599
- Currently, the remote API is not implemented, which mean you must be on the same local network as your bridge to communicate with it.

it doesn't let me scroll the list of lamps/rooms, so i can't control all of my lights because they're off the bottom of the extension popup

Doesnt work.
It cant find my bridge automatically, so i entered the ip of the bridge manually, didnt work either, and yes i pressed the button on the bridge as instructed. Huegasm (another extension) works perfectly, found my bridge instantly and i just pressed the button. Done.

For me, in 2021, the directions are:
Put in the IP of the bridge in first, then press Authorize bridge, then run to the router and press the button on the Hue Bridge.
After that, works perfectly. Smoother than the official app on the phone.
