New in iConnectHue 4.1
A new year has just begun, but we already have a lot of great new things for you:
Overview
- Exclusive longpress
- Light migration wizard
- Scene cleanup
- Widget editor renaming
- Multiple daylight timers per group
- Random scene shake
- Several other improvements
Exclusive longpress
You can now enable Hue Dimmer, Smart Button and Lutron Aurora to handle your long press actions exclusively – so that on long press, the short press actions aren’t activated. Just go to the long press actions and activate the long press to be exclusively.
(Available with Upgrade Level 1, any Membership and free for everyone who purchased 4.0)
Light migration wizard
Have an old light you’d like to replace with a new one?
The wizard can update all your groups, scenes, widget, name and and startup mode settings, as well as timers. Simply go to the lights, and press the wizard button on the top left to start the process.
If you migrate from an old light with limited colors, iConnectHue will recalculate your scenes so the new lights have the same colors!
(Available with Pro Membership)
Scene cleanup
Are you at your bridge scenes limit?
In your bridge settings you can now clean up scenes to make space of this precious resource. Tick the scenes you’d like to clean up and let it run.
(Available with Upgrade Level 1, any Membership and free for everyone who purchased 4.0)
Widget editor renaming
You can now name your widget items the way you want. Long press a name in the table below your items and name it. Deleting the name returns to the automatically generated name.
Make your spacers a headline to sort your widget – they can be named as well and become a headline once named.
If you have Pro and hence the Widget available on your watch, the names will be there as well.
(Available with Upgrade Level 1, any Membership and free for everyone who purchased 4.0)
Multiple daylight timers per group
If you want to split sunrise and sunset actions for week and weekends, or want to switch between multiple settings by enabling/disabling them, you can now do so. Each group now allows for multiple daylight timers.
(requires an up to date bridge firmware)
Random scene shake
Shake in your scene, Magic Scene or animation view to activate a random scene! Once you activated a Magic Scene, tap on the icon to randomize it.
(Available with Upgrade Level 1, any Membership and free for everyone who purchased 4.0)
Several other improvements
We’ve made several other improvements as well. Here they are:
- More accurate drag & drop colors between old and new lights
- The Celsius/Fahrenheit setting in iOS is now used (You can change it under iOS’ Settings->General->Language and Region)
- Added support for new Immax and Innr lights
- More Hue lights recognized (Your icon is still missing? Write us and name the light!)
- Disabling things now means to swipe right – on devices and timers you now need to swipe right to reveal “disable”, fully swipe right to quickly en/disable things
- Timers usually take less resources
- Solved an issue with fading randomized timers (please delete these and set them up again)
