Combine your Hue or LIFX light bulbs with the power of Tasker!

Features & Capabilities

AutoHue is a powerful Tasker plug-in that enables seamless automation of your Philips Hue and LIFX smart light bulbs. By integrating with Tasker or Locale, AutoHue allows you to control your lights based on various triggers, such as arriving home or receiving notifications — no remote needed.

With features including turning lights on/off, adjusting color and brightness, blinking alerts, color loops, and even custom JSON commands, AutoHue unlocks versatile smart lighting control. Although primarily designed for local (WiFi) networks due to Hue API restrictions, it supports not only Hue and LIFX but also other bulbs connected via the Philips Hue bridge like Osram and Ikea Trådfri. Please note that while AutoHue remains functional, it is no longer actively maintained. AutoHue empowers you to create dynamic, context-aware lighting experiences effortlessly.

User Reviews

AutoHue (Tasker Plug-in) is praised for its robust and detailed control over Philips Hue lights, allowing complex automations and compatibility with some non-Hue bulbs. Its local network operation is favored, and resources like tutorials aid users. However, users report persistent issues including app crashes, freezing, and compatibility problems with newer Android versions and Hue updates. Connection difficulties with the Hue bridge and lack of official support also detract from user experience. Despite these, it remains a go-to tool for advanced Hue lighting automation through Tasker.

Pros

Provides strong and precise control over Philips Hue lights through Tasker integration.
Works well locally with Philips Hue bridge, enabling diverse and customizable light automation.
Able to function with some non-Hue Zigbee bulbs, albeit with limitations on transition timings.
Supports complex light routines such as mimicking sunset with color and brightness changes.
Helpful tutorials available, enhancing user understanding and functionality.

Cons

App is not updated and shows compatibility issues with latest Android versions and Philips Hue updates.
Frequent freezing and crashing issues reported, leading to unreliable task execution.
Connection problems with Philips Hue bridge; manual bridge IP entry sometimes required.
Limited or no support/contact options for users experiencing problems.
Transition time feature does not work consistently on non-Hue Zigbee bulbs.

Great extension. Wish it had control of "on power failure".

I'm getting a notification that it might not work with my version of android. Version 14 on One UI 6. Hopefully it will be updated soon or I just don't know what I'm doing. Works great normally.
