Alongside the launch of Philips Hue Sync, Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) and Disney have teamed up to create a unique lighting experience: Signify collaborated with Disney Music Group to showcase Philips Hue Sync’s immersive capabilities with the highly anticipated, premiere music video from the new a cappella singing sensation, DCappella. The group performs the track, “Immortals”, which was featured in Disney’s Oscar®-winning animated film, “Big Hero 6”.

As part of the collaboration, fans can in a 360-degree experience. As for the Hue Sync app, here’s how it works: The Hue Sync app can be used with one press of a button. Simply select your desired Audio, Video or Gaming mode within the control panel, and you can sync your lights to the entertainment content playing on your computer.

You can also tailor your lighting experience. The software allows you to set your desired brightness level and change the speed in which your lights are changing alongside the content; you can select between Subtle, Moderate, High and Intense modes. Plus, when listening to music, you choose from several different color palettes to match the genre. For example, subtle, pastel colors play nicely with softer tunes, while brighter, bolder tones might be better suited for rock and dance music. Philips notes that Hue Sync isn’t limited to computers even though its a Windows and macOS app; users can extend the Hue Sync experience to TVs using HDMI, Chromecast, AirPlay, or Miracast.

One of the fantastic perks of Philips Hue lights is how many devices and apps can work with or enhance the functionality of them. The developer community is gigantic. One platform that’s a bit more sparse on Hue support is the. Wouldn’t it be great if while already using your Mac, you didn’t need to reach over to your iPhone and launch an app to control the lights?

This free app lets you fully control and group Philips Hue lights from your Mac’s menu bar A few apps, most of which cost money, that can help out with this. But we’re going to focus on just one. It’s free and it has more features than even the official Philips Hue app for iOS supports. Philips Hue Mac App The best Mac app for Philips Hue is the. It’s free and it does nearly everything you could ask a Hue controller to do. First, you have to pair the app as always with your Hue bridge. Launch Colors for Hue, then head over to wherever you put your bridge and press the center button to confirm the link.

Colors for Hue. If you click it, you’ll see a list of every light bulb connected to that bridge along with an indication of their current brightness level. If you have Hue bulbs that support color, hovering over the name of your bulb will reveal an entire color palette to choose from. As for Hue bulbs that don’t support color, but just, you can adjust that here too using the slider. Since my bulbs are just pure white, I can only adjust the brightness from the main menu. Grouping Lights One the largest downsides to the official Philips Hue app is that it doesn’t support the grouping of several light bulbs into one control. Yes, you can set scenes that have brightness and color presets for all the light bulbs, but sometimes you just need a few grouped together. For instance, my ceiling light is powered by three different lightbulbs.

In the Philips Hue app, I’d have to control them either by turning on or off all the lights in the room (four for me total) or each lightbulb one by one. Thankfully, in Colors for Hue, I’ve been able to group the three ceiling bulbs into a single Ceiling light.

To do this, click Preferences in the menu then click Groups. Highlight the bulbs you want to group together by pressing either Command or Shift. Tip: It helps if you give your lights specific names that can aid you in remembering which ones they are within the room, rather than just keeping them in default numerical order. Click Group and you’re done. Now, the brightness slider in Colors for Hue controls all three bulbs on the ceiling at once. Delayed Off Colors for Hue also supports Delayed Off, which is basically a sleep timer for your lights.
