Hue Switcher for Philips Hue Bridges on Windows Pc

Hue Switcher is a third party application designed to enable fun, advanced, and smart control of your Philips Hue Bridge Lighting System. Hue Switcher is natively designed for Philips Hue Bridges and Accessories using the Philips Hue API but does not yet support Bluetooth control.

WARNING:Hue Switcher contains many dynamic lighting effects! Some Lavas* contain rapid bursts of light, please use at your own risk! See Disclaimer below.

Note: Hue Switcher is currently available in English only. Using a non-English device language or input may cause app instability and crashes. Additional languages will be added in the future! :)

Manage Light Groups:
• Lava Lamp: Choose from 40+ custom designed Lava Scenes or Music Effects or create your own!
• Auto Color Generator allows you to create and place a pattern of colors onto any size Light Group.
• Create, Delete, Retrieve and Rename Light Groups on your Philips Hue Bridge.
• Lights can be assigned to more than one Light Group.

Accessory Programming:
• Create trigger events using many different options for Hue accessories such as the Hue Tap, Dimmer Switch, and Motion Sensor.

Scenes:
• Create Scenes with unique settings for every Light in the specified Light Group.
• Save Scenes to sliding bars that can be assigned to different Rooms in your home.
• Scenes are automatically saved to your Philips Hue Bridge using the current Light settings - Hue Bridge snapshots exactly what your lights look like upon creation to retrieve later
• Set Transition Times (0.2 seconds - 60 minutes) to gradually fade lights on or off.

Rooms:
• Create Rooms to house different collections of scene sliders.
• Dimmer switches each control a unique Scene saved to your Philips Hue Bridge.
• NOTE: Hue Switcher Rooms are not related at all to the Philips Hue API Rooms. Rooms are stored locally in the app to lessen Light Group / Room confusion generated by the official application.

Scene Light Schedules:
• Create Light Schedules to trigger Scenes at certain times of the day, recurring on all or certain days of the week.
• Automate your Entry Way lights, Back Yard lights, Front Porch, Balcony, Aquarium, etc...
• Create a "Light Alarm Clock" by triggering a scene with a 5 minute Transition Time in the morning.
