Philips Hue control apps

This cluster contains apps for controlling Philips Hue smart lights, including Android shortcuts and widgets, a comprehensive smart home scene manager, and a macOS menu bar controller. The dated history shows five entries spread unevenly from June 2015 to August 2025, with no discernible pattern. HueReka leads on traction with 3 stars, while huebar and aura each have 1 star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
