Wow, no one wins with this app even 5 years later. My HDMI sync box just disappeared. I don't even want to try to add it again since it's kind of functional at the moment, I just can't update the entertainment areas or any of the features.

Wow, no one wins with this app even 5 years later. My HDMI sync box just disappeared. I don't even want to try to add it again since it's kind of functional at the moment, I just can't update the entertainment areas or any of the features.
Updaye since 6.3.1. Again, unable to sync with hdmi box... Update since v5.70.1: I have added one star because now I can finally comnect to the hdmi sync box from the app but ONLY when I am on the same VLAN as my box, which was not necessary before. Very inconvenient AND unsecure 🤬 Update since v5.69: Still unable to sync lights with hdmi box. SHAME! Update since v5.68.0: STILL NOT OKAY! They fixed the home but now the hdmi sync box won't connect, as mentioned here by other users. RIDICULOUS!
Hub has an ”outlet” device type as well as a variety of lights. However, when reporting the device to an external service like Google Home, it reports outlets as lights instead of outlets and you can't override it. Lights have special behavior that is undesirable for outlets.
I'm kind of bummed that I cannot install the hue app on my other Samsung devices such as a tablet that I just purchased a few years back because my tablet is obsolete now. Additionally, bummed that Philips doesn't make a computer application that you can control you lights. The computer application they make doesn't really control anything. I don't really know what it does except to control a few prebuilt-in parameters which are pretty much useless.
rarely works with certain rooms. hue switch always fails.
love these lights and the app
