What is ChromeHue for Philips Hue?
'ChromeHue for Philips Hue' is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to provide an interactive and intuitive platform for controlling Philips Hue bulbs. The extension offers advanced features such as switching bulbs on/off, changing brightness, enabling color loops, and managing multiple Philips Hue bridges. The user-friendly UI makes configuration and usage a breeze, even for beginners. Despite being robust, it only functions within the same local network as the Philips Hue bridge.
