New in iConnectHue 5.14
We have some firecrackers for you – on your lights AND with the app! Here we go:
Hue Sync Box support with Presets
iConnectHue now supports the Hue Sync Box for Pro Members. The usual controls are easily accessible via the Dashboard, and we offer an additional feature: Presets!
Presets allow you to store your current settings for brightness, the Entertainment Zone, the vis mode and the intensity for easy recall, instead of always needing to set up everything manually.
This was a lot of work – not only to integrate, but also in the future to maintain and adapt over time as iOS and the Hue system evolve. Hence, this feature is available with a Pro Membership.
We likely will add more functionality in the future for the Sync Box, based on your feedback.
This is a beta feature! While we tested it extensively, we haven’t yet had experience with it in the wider field. If you experience anything out of the ordinary, write us via the app, so we can improve it for you!
How to add your Sync Box: Go to “Devices” via the menu, select “+” on the top right and select to add a Sync Box.
Firework animations
No smoke, no loud noises (your pets will aprove), but lots of visual fidelity!
They’re free: This seasonal set is available until January 1. With a Membership, you’ll have access to it throughout the entire year!
Remember: We also have two additional sets – “Happy new year!” and “Happy new yeah!”.
With the animation upgrade, you can upload these animations to switches for instant replay, or run them with a timer to start them exactly when you need them!

Heads up: If widgets or shortcuts act up, try restarting your device – it’s an iOS thing, not an us thing!
