I’ve recently upgraded most of the rooms in my house to have either Hue or Lifx bulbs. I’ve also installed diyHue and Home Assistant. I’ve added all my Home Assistant devices into diyHue, so I am treating everything as if they are on a Hue Bridge.
The problem I am experiencing is that when using Dance Sensation or Disco on a Chromecast with GoogleTV, regardless of what settings I have, the lights are always disappointing. By that, the pulses are slow, and a lot of the time, bulbs are off or are very dim. It’s not so much of a party, sadly.
I am using 9 bulbs in total in one room in this instance, but I’ve tried on other rooms, even tried on the actual Hue bridge.
My question is, is this a bug? My request: Is it possible to add a sensitivity and speed option for those effects to make them respond a bit more lively?
Thanks.
Hello everyone.
This is my first post on this forum.
I have the same problem.
I bought the pro version of Hue Essentials 4.2.7 in the hope that the music synchronization would work properly.
Unfortunately, after less than a minute the lights stop blinking. First they start blinking very slowly and then not at all, stopping at any colors. It looks like the app is in a demo version or the service is hanging. I am using an old Huawei P 30 with EMUI 12.00 for this.
What could be causing the problem?
I’ll answer myself
99% of the reason for this was the automatic power management for this app on my phone. I turned it off and watched the lights flicker for 20 minutes without any problems.
The phone turned off Dance Sensation because it thought the app was using too much power without telling me.
