My Lights app good for
Please give us the option to toggle the lights off as well. If I want to go to bed I would love to have Siri turn off the lights. This would make it five stars!
This app does exactly what it says. It makes turning on your hue lights way easier. It can be even better if I can use siri to turn the lights off.
Some bad moments
It opens the app by saying "open My Lights" to Siri which automatically turns on the paired bulbs to the last color the bulbs were set at, then just hit the switch icon to turn them all off. So simple but genius, definitely worth at least $.99! If you cant get it to work you didnt follow the instructions correctly.
I want this to work with the Siri command "Turn on My Lights" as is listed in the help guide. However it does not work. "Open My Lights" works, but that launches the app. Not bad, but I dont want the app open - just the lights on.
As the previous reviewer stated, it turns on the last scene when you had the hues on. Would be AWEOME if you could tell Siri to open this app and then turn on a specific scene. But that may be too much to ask.
Keep up the good work though!
Easy to use and Voice Activated with Siri. This is a refreshing and simple way to turn on my LED Bulbs with very little effort. Also with one touch I can turn them off. Easy. If you have Philips Hue you cant lose with using My Lights app. to operate LED Bulbs when ease is wanted or needed. Thank you.
Like some (but not all) other third party apps designed to control the hue light bulbs, "My Lights" works well with the initial three bulbs, but its usefulness quickly diminishes when you add additional bulbs. I have currently have 17 in my apartment. (Each bridge supports 50) It only activates bulbs that are visible in the list when the app launches and theres no way to re-order the list. This might be manageable if the app would even remember the bulbs Ive selected to activate. (But it keeps selecting bulbs in a different room at random)
I like this idea a lot. I hope the developer can overcome the issues mentioned above.
Nice work getting it to connect with Siri. Now to find a way to turn it off with Siri will be nice!
This app does nothing at all. Its name is "My Lights" so you can say "Start My Lights" to Siri (only with iOS7.x) and get less flexibility than if you said "Start Hue" or "Start Scintillator." Really theres no flexibility or features AT ALL. This is the most blatant waste of $ and time Ive yet to encounter from 100s of iOS apps. I was looking for the zero star rating, as one star implies theres at least something good about it. Steer clear!
