Hue Power India (For Philips Hue)
In Hue Power India version 2.0 enhanced power reset feature does not require the a persistent wifi connection with phone, the bulbs will glow in their last state even when the you are not at home.
** Custom Start up state for Hue Bulbs **
The newer version also introduces the startup color mode for power reset. After a power outage the bulbs can now light up with different startup colors with varying brightness. You can now configure the lights to come up at a default state after a power outage.
** Seemless Multibridge Support **
The app now provides full support for working with multiple bridges along with power reset. Hue power is now made in such a way that it remembers the credentials of all the connected bridges, which means that no push link is required when connecting to the bridges again. The switching between bridges is smooth and easy.
** Auto Refresh **
The user can see changes performed on the lights and the rooms by other apps like changing the color or the recipe from other Philips Hue apps in realtime.
** Schedules from Other Apps **
The user is now allowed to enable/disable different schedules or routine which were created from different app other than Philips Hue power India iOS/Android.
** Better and Larger Color Palette **
The user has smoother, better and larger color palette available to his aid now.
** Free up your bridge when you don't need it **
Using the "Delete Power reset resources" the user can clean up the bridge of any extra resources that were created by HPI right from the app.
**How to use ?**
You just have to use Hue Power India for controlling your Hue Lights. Rest is handled by Hue Power India magically. In case of power outage the lighting system of your home will retain the last state of the bulbs with help of the magic created by Hue Power India, which makes sure the latest setting are stored and applied when power is back.
Note:
Please make sure that your bridge is not on power backup. Bridge reboot is necessary in order for light to retain their last state.

Once this work, but not anymore..maybe because Philips update, update had new power behaviour, but only work on gen 3 bulb.. The gen 2, used to work with your apps, now not anymore, anyway thanks..
the one feature that i installed it for (memory in case of power failure) isn't working anymore.
Sorry, but I can't get this to work at all. It just keeps starting in its default white no matter the setting or how long you wait. There seem to be an issue with the latest Hue bridges and lamps. I was really looking forward to this. :(
It worked fine only once. It keeps starting to it's default.
Hue light bulbs have a safety setting which I find annoying. After a power failure, their bulbs turn themselves on when the power is restored.. This is a problem for me, since I travel a lot and am in an area that seems to have more than it's share of power outages. On several occasions I would return home to find all of my lights on at full power. I installed this APP specifically to take advantage of the Power Cycle Reset function, which allows you to toggle a feature that restores your Hue lights to the state they were in at the time of a power failure. This means that if the bulbs are "off" at the time of a power failure, the system would turn them off again after the power was restored. I activated the feature and "Retain Last State", and simulated a power failure by shutting off power to the house at the main power panel. The power came back up and the lights came on, but when the Hue Bridge rebooted, all of the Hue lights turned off! Perfect. Problem solved. Thank You.
Perfect app for power outage It is the best ever app for Hue Light Products perfectly restore s the previous state of light ...and much better as compared to the previous version s of the app Easy to use Fast connectivity No more dependency on router for restoring light state. Overall An Owsome App
Start-up colour config feature is super but there is some bridge connection issues overall very stable app
Solve the biggest Phillip feature i don't like..the last default state, especially after power outage
A very cool and useful app . I suggest everyone should download it .
As other users mentioned, the power on settings doesn't work with my hardware (newer).
I love the restrore state option it works
The only reason I installed this was the retain settings option after power outage and it doesnt work.
I don't think retaining the state works with the latest Hue bridges. It doesn't with mine. Set colour to red. Switch off at mains. Switch back on. Colour = white again :(
Excellent application for people with the hue product. Saves the last light states perfectly. Works even with schedules.
UI is adequate. Retaining settings after power outage does not work for me. New user with Philips Bridge 2.0 and 3rd gen white/color light.
Handles power reset case color resetting issue. Better all light control with default group availability, I have multiple lights at home so this makes it easier to control them all and i dont have to create a separate group manually. Schedules allow color setting as well in addition to theme and on/off of lights.
Works great with v1 bridge and any gen bulbs, but both bridge and bulbs or just bridge must encounter power outage (this is a kind of power on schedule). This app is a compromise between past behavior of bulbs (full power on start) and "power on" feature added by Philips on Dec 2018, that stores state in the bulb itself (however not available for v1 users, PLEASE TRY REVERSE ENGINEERING THAT). With HPI bulbs will still start at full power, but dim/go off immediately when bridge becomes ready.
