Would be nice if I could disable the flashing on hover.
Also, some options would make all lights blink even though I had selected a specific group. (Which ended up disturbing my partner working in the other room!)
I also could not find a way to change the shades of white on my Hue White Ambiance bulbs...

Worked flawlessly as promised, it is great to control my hue lights from my computer! :)

UPDATE:

I just got some non Hue Zigbee lights. Huegasam works with them also!! WOWOWOWO!


That being said, it's still not 5 stars because I really like how Hue Sync handles the lights. Hue Sync is able to update multiple lights at the same time (or near enough to it). It makes for a much more seemless music sync experience. There is some other stuff that Hue Sync does also, faster transitions etc etc etc.

However, of course Hue Sync only works with Hue lights so, Huegasam it is.

PRIVACY is a big concern because even when I turn off the mic in the extension, the light still respond to voice. I have to cross the light so as to prevent it from responding to surroundings. The extension should not be using the mic once the 'start listening' feature has been turned off.

Very good app, nice interface and I love that it is avaliable on so many platform. I really miss the ability to sync lights to music as a group instead of individual blinking lights. What I would like is that all light in a room or a group change to the same color at the same time. Otherwise everything I want

I would give this a five starts but in the first five minutes of me using it with my lights, the music mode got stuck on. I tried unplugging and plugging back in the philips hue hub, I tried turning my lights on and off, I even tried uninstalling the extension but the lights kept flashing. In the end I had to factory reset my hue bridge to fix them. HUGE PAIN. If they can fix that bug I will definitely give this five stars.

Very impressed with this - my lights are definitely flashing in time with the music with imperceptible delay. Just a couple of things: I'm using the Chrome tab to sync to Spotify and playing through my Echo setup, but there is no beat detection on any setting except for the max. I suspect this is resulting in the previously mentioned 'queued requests' in the Hue Hub, as I fight for control of my lights back after I switch off the extension.

It would be great if there was a bit of more smarts with the beat detection, such as hitting all the lights together on a major beat (e.g., hard cymbal hit for rock, resumption after a drop for dance etc.)

Výborná aplikace!

Možná by nebyl špatný nápad notifikace pomocí bliknutí. ;)

I have been wanting a hue app I could use on my desktop for halloween/xmas light displays. I have found it. I immediately bought the full version and synced my lights when they arrived. The lighting controls are easy to use. My computer line out has a bit of static so I lowered the sensitivity a bit. I also like that I can chose all lights or independent groups. In future releases I would like the ability to group 2 or more lights to flash simultaneously. Also, a bigger control panel to tweak colors, lights, beat detection etc would be awesome. I can see Huegasm become the leader of hue light control.

I don't ever make extension reviews, but this extension (if you can even limit it by calling it that) is so extraordinarily excellent that it deserves my 5 stars. Listening to Joywave Live at the Planetarium with this app running for music reminds me why I bought my Hue lights in the first place. Unlike the official Hue Sync app, it surprised me that none of the same strange 'hanging' my lights would do for seconds on end happened here, and it was a welcomed surprise.

You can tell a lot of work went into this and it was more than worth the $6 CAD I paid for it. If you have Hue lights, this is THE penultimate sync experience. Try it for yourself.
