Thunderstorm for Hue

Thunderstorm for Hue synchronizes storm sounds and configurable flashes or pulses across selected Philips Hue lights.

Our take

Pick for a storm-themed light-and-sound scene with compatible Hue hardware.

Rain, lightning and passing-storm controls let the same scene range from subtle ambience to dramatic effects.

Keep in mind: A Hue Bridge or Hue Bridge Pro is required. Bright flashes are integral to some modes, and wireless audio can need delay adjustment.

What you can do

  • Choose strong, normal, weak or passing storms
  • Adjust rain, thunder, light colors and intensity
  • Select light groups and set sleep or end-state behavior

Good for

  • Hue owners creating a themed room or controllable storm ambience.

Consider alternatives for

  • People without compatible Hue hardware or who need to avoid flashing-light effects.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.0.
  • A Hue Bridge or Hue Bridge Pro is required. Bright flashes are integral to some modes, and wireless audio can need delay adjustment.

Privacy & permissions

The app controls selected lights through the Hue setup. Pair only with the intended bridge and consider who else can access those lights on the network.
