If you like different color ambience in your room, you will pretty much need an app. The colored light industry will never make hardware controls for adjusting hue/saturation/contrast.
- autoexec 3y agoI don't doubt that you'll get better customization options with apps, but you aren't doomed to a life devoid of color without them. We've got some colored lighting in the form of plain old LED strips with wired controllers, we've had a couple old fashioned single color bulbs at times, and there are other options like this: https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-93100205-Replacement-Spectrum/dp/B07WC324HZ https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-93100205-Replacement-Spec... I'd really like to see something like openrgb (openrgb.org) for light bulbs though.

- autoexec 3y agoI've managed to come up with a few app free options, more limited, but still effective and less abusive than an app. I'd make do with a string of Christmas lights if I had to.
- tga 3y agoThat's not true, Zigbee remotes can pair directly to lightbulbs (including Philips Hue) and control the color. Example: https://rgbgenie.com/?product=rgbgenie-rgbw-remote-zigbee https://rgbgenie.com/?product=rgbgenie-rgbw-remote-zigbee Also, there are tons of cheap colored lightbulbs controlled directly by an infrared remote. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Light-Color-Changing-2700K-White/dp/B07F3X9Y98/ref=sr_1_3 https://www.amazon.com/Light-Color-Changing-2700K-White/dp/B...
