THE CHILL KNOB
One knob. The perfect vibe.
Auto DJ picks the genre, you set the mood. Turn up Chill for softer intensity and smoother fades as the evening winds down. It works instantly on every genre the DJ chooses, and your presets never change.

Music & show questions
Do I need a Hue Sync Box to sync lights to music?
No. hueDynamic listens through your phone's microphone and drives your lights directly through your Hue Bridge.
Which genres does Auto DJ recognise?
Nineteen: Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Dance, Latin, Country, Classical, Jazz, Acoustic, Metal, Reggae, House, Techno, Drum and Bass, Disco, Dubstep, Trance and Ambient. You can switch off any you don't want it to choose.
Can I override Auto DJ?
Yes. Pick any genre or preset and the DJ steps aside until you give it back control. You can also save your own version of any genre, and Auto DJ plays your version from then on.
What do I need for the sequencer and Neural Disco?
A Hue Entertainment area with compatible lights. The in-app guide walks you through setting one up.
Does recording a DJ set record my music?
No — it records the lighting cues as editable timeline clips, not the song audio.
