Thunderstorm for Hue

It’s a shame I had to spend money on this before realizing how slowly the lights flash for the lightning. Nothing like lightning at all.

Very good effect if you have a room with a bunch of Hue lights. Very easy to use and works exactly as advertised. I’ve been using it for about a year now with no issues at all.

The light flashing/strobing works great. He audio track is also good. I have an issue however that the audio cannot be redirected to my HomePod, and only plays on my phone speakers which aren’t good enough to and this breaks the immersion. This seems to be a regression as I could originally play the sound on my HomePod when I first got this app.

Works exactly as described. Was incredibly simple to set up with our Hue bridge: just tap in the app to select your bridge, then tap the link button on your bridge and it’s done. You can select all lights or use your light groups/zones to create storms throughout your home. You can also select the intensity of the storm and have the ability to tap to create lightning on command. It’s perfect!

Very hard to make work with airplay. I have to toggle it on and off and faff about all over. It loses a lot of appeal when I have fabulous lighting effects and tiny tinny sounds from my itty bitty iPhone speaker. Disappointed. Edit: my complaints are probably Apple’s fault. Airplay is problematic in general with my numerous device setup. However if the developer can add AirPlay controls to the app itself it would fix it.
