About this app

Put your unused TV remote control buttons to use with Hue Shortcuts!

Create shortcuts to change Philips Hue smart lights however you want and assign a remote control button to run them without ever navigating away from what you're watching.

- Shortcuts can turn lights on or off or to set a scene in any room or zone

- Run shortcuts from the Hue Shortcuts app or assign it to a remote control button

- Combine short, long, double and triple presses to run different shortcuts from one button

- Run shortcuts from an Android TV home screen channel (Android 8+)

- Run shortcuts automatically when the TV is turned on/off or a chosen app is launched

- Disable buttons in chosen apps

- Assign a button to slide out the Hue Shortcuts app over any other app or video

- Fully compatible with both the first and second generation Philips Hue Bridge

I want your feedback! Please use the email address listed below with any improvements or other home automations you'd like to see available.

Note: To assign buttons you will be asked to enable Hue Shortcuts as an accessibility service. This allows the app to monitor your remote control button presses but does not allow it to see anything you enter in an on-screen keyboard. Only buttons explicitly assigned within the Hue Shortcuts app are acted upon. See the privacy policy for full details.
