    It sucks. Any other compatible app, free or paid, that let you set routines like alarm clocks and that worth it?

      The old Hue app still works and I’m also using Hue Essentials, both without any account.

      I have a Hue bridge of the 1st generation and a few years ago, the original app was showing pop-ups, that I need to get a new bridge because of the new app that will no longer support my old bridge. So I just kept the old app and the old bridge. Works like a charm all offline.

      When I added a motion detector two years ago, the old app didn’t find it for setup. That’s when I tested the alternative app Hue Essentials and it works just fine offline.
