A simple App for changing state of your Philips hue lights using NFC tags.Options:
1) Switch OFF - Always switch off, doesn't matter which state the light currently has.
2) Switch ON/OFF - Toggle light depending on the current light state.
3) Switch ON - Always switch on, doesn't matter which state the light currently has.
4) Switch Color - sets the color stored for the light on the tag.
The color stored is the color the light had when the NFC tag was written.
For lux lights this option just changes brightness.
Groups are supported.
Contradictory group/light settings lead to an unpredictable state change. Just don't do it.
Note: Storing the current color of groups can be a little tricky, since the state for groups is the state last set for the group. That's not necessarily the color which can be observed when writing the tag.
In order to use the App the hue bridge must be connected to the internet (Currently the bridge is discovered by internet link only, that might change in future versions)
Once the IP is received, it's stored and internet connection is not needed anymore.
Refresh starts bridge discovery anew.
To read data stored on a NFC tag, just put it on the NFC tag when the App is in foreground.
Have fun switching!

Ehh... Does what it says, but needs several QoL improvements. I mean, just some explanation of ANYTHING in the app would work wonders. Seems to have the potential for SO much more, but just not breaking through. Ideally would be another total-control, 3rd-party Hue App (ie Hue Essentials), but with the option to write/run nfc chips with scenes, effects, routines, created in app. As-is, super bare-bones, to the point that usefulness is greatly hindered. Could be prettier too. Too basic.

Perfect. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use and free! The tags I have haven't got much memory so I've created zones from the Hue app and there we go! Very impressed. It would be nice if you could control more than lights I.e. Other IOTs but you can't have it all.

The app works great for the purpose and not to mention it's free. Take a little bit time to understand the initial set up, but overall it's smooth and now I can control my hue lights with ease. Appreciate the work!

While the user interface needs some work - mainly instructions on how to set it up/pair it with your Bridge, it does work perfectly once you do! Good job so far - can't wait to see further improvements and refinements.

Works as it says nothing grand for the price but definitely better than a regular or dimmer switch. The magnet stick is convenient but kids can take and lose the switch on you. But still it's nice and works well enough but has a glitch now and then.

Error: IOException. Received this error after downloading & hitting the button on the hue bridge to link it together. Too bad. Just saw a yt video of a guy using this w/o issue, but I guess that was last year. Running Android 12 on Pixel 5a 5g.

The interface is a bit rough and could've done with a little more guidance in the start, but there's only a few buttons so use your wit, click your bridge. You're set.

Not useable. Keeps saying to register the app, but doesn't tell you how. Only has three things to press and the one to sync the hue lights doesn't seem to do anything. I hit the button on my bridge, held it, nothing.
