In addition to the basic functions, the app also masters the configuration of all switches, rotary switches and motion sensors, as well as access to up to 5 Hue Bridges. The free version of easy hue allows a limited number of actions, after which an upgrade to the inexpensive full version is required. easy hue does not collect any user data and does not annoy the user with advertising, but is financed by purchasing the upgrade to the full version.

- Control of all lights including activation of dynamic effects such as campfire and candlelight.
- Organization and control of rooms and zones.
- Creation and editing of scenes with static and also dynamic light configurations (color loops).
