Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Ambieye is ambient lighting for the web. Ambieye extracts the main colors from any page you are viewing and shots them off to your Philip Hue. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, with video (youtube, vimeo, netflix), and any photo.

Features:

• Ambient Eye mode - transfer colors from the web to your home. • Send feedback from inside the app. • Turn all the light bulbs on or off with a virtual lightswitch. • Auto bridge discovery & manual bridge IP entry. • Control different groups of lights, or individual lights.

Setup:

After installing, you will see an eye icon in chrome's toolbar, click it to start auto discovery of your Philips Hue lights.
When the bridge is found, you see the "press the link button" message - press the middle button on the bridge to authenticate the extension. For auto-discovery to work, you need to be on the same WiFi network as the bridge.
Choose a group of lights or an individual light on the Settings screen. Then enable the Ambieye from the eye tab.

User reviews

How dare you taking money for that? This is so buggy and not usable at all. Is there any refund?

Connected right away, but lights never changed color with websites after turning that feature on. I could dim the lights, but that was it. Closed out of chrome and opened it back up and the extension would never even get past the "Initializing" message when trying to open it. Waste of time. I cancelled my purchase.

Attempting to watch movies is extremely choppy while running this (admittedly that could be because of my network although I do get very fast speeds). Also, Like someone said previously the light stays white the majority of the time. Needs serious work.
