Setup:
You will need the Philips Hue physical hardware: the bridge and bulbs.
1. After installing Ambieye it will try to find your bulbs via meethue.com or ask you for the Bridge IP. You must be on the same Wifi network as the bridge.
2. When the bridge is found, you see the "press the link button" message - press the middle button on the white bridge to authenticate the app.
3. Control your lights.
The application dims all the lights on and off with a single mouse click, dynamic scenes work as long as the app is open.
