    Finally came out with the product and as far as setting your lighting to your tv and shows and movies it works great. Not super intuitive about hdmi switching and is a separate app which makes sense only bc hue can hardly do anything with another app to make it work. It’s got some ways to come but good product. Software engineers just aren’t that smart.

    I’ve read a lot of bad things about this but after getting it I’ve honestly haven’t regretted a thing. It works seamless, very responsive and haven’t had a problem yet for the month I’ve had it. You get what you pay for with the sync box. 100% would recommend

    This a very nice product. When connected through your Hue Hub.. it will match the background lighting to the TV scene.. very cool. We used to do this in a crude fashion several years ago with a tablet and an app. Philips must have seen the possibilities. Very nicely done. Highly recommend

    Works good but it’s a pain to have to switch between the two hue apps. One app would be nice to control hue lighting and sync box.
