Philips Hue Bridge v1 Customer Insights

1. Smooth, it transfer settings worked smooth.I was forced to switch to this app by Philips when they dropped support for the bridge.

2. I've restarted the bridge, my phone, individual lights, and the app still takes a long time to connect to the bridge.

3. Makes the routines practically useless.I'm not impressed AT ALL by the forced "upgrade" process coming from the v1 Bridge.

4. They even had to build a new app for the new bridge, too complicated for the hip young developers to keep it all in just one proudly produced app, scanning which version it can find in your network to adjust features.

5. Don't think about electronic waste, just buy a new bridge! We, Signify, do determine the lifespan of this product!I was similarly disgruntled from having to download and switch to yet another app just for hue.

6. And suddenly, the LOCAL connection between the V1 bridge and the Homey controller is no longer possible.

7. Starting to feel like I'm getting shafted for being an early adopter.Faster than the main app, so I appreciate it, but needs an explicit time zone setting.

8. I thought splitting this app to support this bridge was so performance would still be good with the older bridge.

9. Suddenly, all my lights on the Homey app became unreachable, because of a forced upgrade of the hub.

10. If you have... you're stuck.I was using the Homey domotica server to control my Hue lights.

11. I can set any of the other routines just fine but not home and away.Since the latest update, the app's response time is incredibly slow.
