- 📦iConnectHue for Philips Hue updated to version 5.18.1Nouveautés dans iConnectHue 5.18
- Prise en charge de Sync Box 4K et Play Screen Sync -
iConnectHue prend désormais en charge ces nouveaux appareils Sync, y compris l'utilisation des Presets, qui te permettent d'enregistrer tes réglages préférés pour les retrouver rapidement plus tard.
De plus, tu peux désormais activer ou désactiver le mode d'éclairage d'arrière-plan afin de conserver une luminosité minimale lors des scènes sombres sur ton téléviseur. Tu trouveras cette option dans les réglages de l'appareil concerné.
Note que notre prise en charge de Sync est toujours en version bêta. Nous sommes désormais convaincus qu'elle devrait fonctionner pour tout le monde, mais nous continuons à peaufiner certains détails.
(Disponible avec l'adhésion Pro)
- Animations d'Halloween disponibles -
Notre surprise annuelle d'Halloween est de retour pour tout le monde – et nous en avons ajouté deux nouvelles : « Ghostly » et « Thriller ».
12 animations effrayantes sont disponibles dès maintenant et jusqu'à la mi-novembre. Amuse-toi bien !
Astuce : si tu as des panneaux Nanoleaf, connecte-les – tu peux également lancer ces animations dessus ! (Pro)
(Disponible jusqu'à la mi-novembre, toute l'année avec une adhésion)
- Autres idées lumineuses -
* Nous avons mis à jour plusieurs aspects de l'app Watch – si elle n'apparaît pas, essaie de l'ajouter à nouveau depuis l'app Watch de ton iPhone
* Si la complication Watch n'apparaît pas, modifie ton cadran et sélectionne-la à nouveau
* Veille à garder watchOS à jour : nous ne prenons en charge que la version actuelle et la précédente. Passe donc prochainement au minimum à watchOS 26 afin de pouvoir continuer à utiliser l'app Watch
* Plusieurs améliorations de détail pour te simplifier encore un peu plus la vie
Petit avertissement : Si les widgets ou raccourcis posent problème, essaie de redémarrer ton appareil – c’est un problème iOS, pas un problème de notre app !
- Ton avis compte ! -
Tu aimes cette mise à jour ? On a bossé dur pour te l’apporter — ton soutien nous permet littéralement de garder les lumières allumées !

5.18.2
5.18.2:
* Resolved a problem for new installs where the device list "start search" part had to be scrolled down to see it - we're sorry for any inconvenience!
New in iConnectHue 5.18
- Support for Sync Box 4k and Play Screen Sync -
iConnectHue now supports these new Sync devices, including the use of Presets with them, so you can store your favourite settings for quick later recall.
In addition to this, you can now toggle the background lighting mode in their settings, to keep a minimum brightness for dark scenes on your TV in the respective device's settings.
Please note that our Sync support is still in Beta. We are now confident that it should work for everybody, but are still polishing details.
(Available with Pro Membership)
- Halloween Animations available -
Our yearly Halloween treat is back for everybody - and we've added two new ones: "Ghostly" and "Thriller".
12 spooky Animations are available now until mid of November. Enjoy!
Hint: If you have Nanoleaf panels, connect them - you can run these Animations on them as well! (Pro)
(Available until mid Nov, full year for Memberships)
