New App: Using Philips Hue Lights Easily with Any Trainer
DC Rainmaker••technology
Key Points:
- A new $3 app called LightMyWatts allows users to link any smart trainer, power meter, or heart rate sensor to Philips Hue lights, automatically changing lighting based on workout intensity across any compatible fitness app, not just Zwift.
- The app requires Philips Hue lights with a bridge, a Bluetooth-enabled smart trainer or power meter, and installation on a smartphone, tablet, or computer; it supports multiple Bluetooth connections on newer trainers for seamless integration.
- Setup involves grouping Hue lights into a single “room” and pairing the app with the Hue bridge and trainer devices; users input FTP or max heart rate values to sync light colors with intensity zones matching Zwift’s power zone colors.
- LightMyWatts runs in the background and updates
