Jon Sorensen (ID: 0000006459e7ce34) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 This is really cool but for some reason it wont let me 'create scenes'. Also can't position widgets to where I would like (in edit mode) - the widget just snaps to a random place when trying to move it. EDIT: Ignore the last part. To add scenes you have to have saved some in the hue app for the option to appear on this extension.
