Poor at best

Bought this and it is frustrating and doesn’t work half the time. If you are lucky enough to get it to work after unplugging and synching 50 times in a 4 hour period it’s pretty decent but the minute you switch it off you are back to square one. If frustration and bouts of despair and checking cables and settings add to your cinematic experience then this is probably for you. Support and troubleshooting for this is extremely illusive. Overall quite and expensive experiment I regret embarking on at the moment. The only incentive I received to post this came from my own uncontrollable sense of frustration
Great idea poor execution

I have spent thousands of pounds on Phillips hue products over the last 9 year’s and this is by far the most frustrating product I have ever purchased. The setup process is frustrating at best, took 5 attempts to get working. Once in use the camera worked well, but went to try the next day and despite resetting and attempting to use again, I gave up after at least 12 attempts. I tried to set up with a different mobile device but still to success. I have never returned a hue product before, but unfortunately this did need not meet my expectations. I have a CX LG Oled which is an amazing tv, and wanted to buy the hue sync app, but my tv is not compatible as deemed to be too old?!?!
Nice Idea

It's a nice idea, in theory, but in practise, I find it kinda slow to respond to what's on screen, which takes away from the intended effect and makes it more of a distraction.
Great in theory, bad execution!

Purchased and was very excited to get it going. I had no issues with setup and it is in the app and hue bridge no problem, it just works poorly, the sync drops out every few minutes so the lights just go stagnant. Probably the worst Hue product I’ve ever purchased. I’m not sure if it’s a software issue or the hardware. Going to return it.
