OS X menu bar utility for controlling the Philips Hue lighting system
QuickHue is an OS X menu bar utility for controlling the Philips Hue lighting system. It allows you to capture the current state of your Hue system into a preset and then quickly apply that preset at a later time. In this way, you can create multiple presets for different states and quickly switch between them.
For example, I have an "Energize" preset which sets all lamps to a very cool color temperature, an "Evening" preset which sets a warm color temperature, a "Relax" preset which sets a warm color temperature and low brightness. You can make presets of whatever you want and name them whatever you want.
