UPDATE NOTE 1.1.6 (October 5, 2015):

Bug fix: Can't buy the group management feature from MAC OSX

UPDATE NOTE 1.1.4 (October 4, 2015):

The development of ChromeHue takes me a lot of time, for this reason i've decided to monetize the group feature. This feature costs 0.99 USD and  allow to use the group management feature forever. I hope you understand this choice.

UPDATE NOTE 1.1.2 (October 3, 2015):

- ChromeHue is now ready to work with the Bridge-v2 update available October 6.
- New authentication system (pairing required)
- You can now edit your groups!  

Features list:

- Switch bulbs on/off (for lights and groups)
- Change brightness (for lights and groups)
- Change hue (lights and groups)
- Blink bulbs (lights and groups)
- Enable color loop (lights and groups)
- Display/edit bulb informations
- Create/edit/delete groups
- Very easy setup and friendly UI
- Auto-discover your bridge on your local network

More information :

- Developed and tested with the bridge sofware version 01023599
- Currently, the remote API is not implemented, which mean you must be on the same local network as your bridge to communicate with it.
