Hue Sync explained: How to sync Philips Hue to your movies and games However, if you're not a Spotify user and you want to get something more funky happening with your system, you need to enlist the help of a third-party app, and we'll demo three for you here. We'll assume you've already got your Hue lights and Hue bridge up and running at home. In terms of mobile apps, the tantalisingly named Huegasm is only available for Android, unfortunately. However, it also comes in the form of a Chrome extension, so you can run it from any computer, and so we thought we'd give it a run out. Note though that the Chrome extension will set you back £4.99 (though a free 7-day trial is available) you can try the Android app for free, with a £3.99 unlock fee to remove the ads. The app prompts you to tap the button on top of your Hue Bridge, and then the connection is almost instantaneous. Tap the Power button to activate the app then choose which bulbs you want to control using the icons at the top. Switch to the Music tab and Huegasm serves up a demo playlist from SoundCloud, into which you can drop other SoundCloud songs. SoundCloud doesn't have a great music selection (it's mostly unsigned artists and rarities) but because it allows its music to be streamed through Huegasm (unlike Spotify or Apple Music), the music-to-light syncing is better in Huegasm than in any other app we tried. Just tap on any of the listed songs and your lights will start flashing to the beat of the music.
