HueFlow: Philips Hue Backup

HueFlow protects and explains the setup of your Philips Hue home. Make an encrypted backup of your rules, automations, rooms and scenes, restore while reviewing every item at your own pace — and see, as an easy-to-read graph, what each switch, dial and sensor really does.

SAFE BACKUP AND RESTORE
• Local, encrypted backup of your bridge: rules and automations, rooms, zones and scenes (colors and gradients included) and, on the Bridge Pro, MotionAware areas and SpatialAware positions. Backup history, with a per-bridge filter.
• Guided restore in 4 reviewable steps — lights, rooms/zones and scenes, accessories and a final comparison showing what is new, what changed and what is already identical. Nothing is written to the bridge until you confirm.
• Replaced a bulb or a switch? Point the old device at the new one and every automation follows. Items that no longer exist get a suggested substitute, and the decision is yours.
• Pair new lights and accessories without leaving the restore — by automatic search, serial number or touchlink.
• Restore even onto a new bridge, with names resolved against its current state.

YOUR AUTOMATIONS, DRAWN OUT
• Every accessory becomes a graph: trigger → condition → action → target. Legacy rules (V1) and current automations (V2) are drawn the same way.
• Scene cycles, on/off pairs and rotary dimming show up as a single node, not dozens of loose rules.
• Find out what controls each light, and migrate a device's legacy rules to the new system.
• Visual editor (beta): change an automation right in the graph, without touching JSON — only what you changed is altered.

BRIDGE CONNECTION
• Automatic discovery on your local network or manual connection by IP; pairing with the bridge's physical button.
• Multiple saved bridges, with quick switching from the top bar.
• Connection indicator and real-time event log.
• Overview of rooms and lights, with on/off and brightness.

TRY IT WITHOUT A BRIDGE
• Demo mode shows the whole app working with a sample home.
