There are lots of Hue apps for Apple iOS and Android, from simple apps for creating scenes, flashing your lights to the beat and sound of music, as well as apps such as hue Dynamic and iConnectHue that will help unlock features and customise.

Still trying to randomize the timing trigger, but that won’t go just yet, and of course an input_boolean. Updated for 2023 The great things about the Philips Hue smart system are the number of apps you can use that help maximise the use of your lights. After I did some research on internet I see that with other popular smart bulbs like Philips Hue, it is possible to achieve this kind of party mode using IFTTT kind of apps. Working smoothly now (as long as you don’t have anything else checking the state of the lights on the Hub, that is why i’ve automated disabling my nse_lights_change while in party mode…) If you’re not bothered by that, you can further shrink these automations and scripts, but in my setting it needs to be split up. One feature that I find missing with Kasa bulbs is that there is no possibility to have a party mode or dancing lights or flashing lights. For anyone interested, had a bit of a struggle with the Hue lights, found an earlier automation, and adapted somewhat.
