Would the Phillips hue be better in terms of music visualization then?

We tried with music, sounds, claps and there was no correlation at all and there were significant delays because it has to go through wifi in the house. This is in agreement with other reviewers on the net. The effort is there but it's not working.
I found this to be true too with the LIFX LED STRIP LIGHTS. the feature isn't curated to the sounds the lights pick up, it looks more like a randomized light show lol.
The only thing that changed between songs for me was the colour but when the bass and boom bap hits the lights were out of sync...

There is probably a delay that's why it's not synced.

Did it work for you? I tried multiple times on different occasions. I didn't even want to put the feature on when I had my girlfriend over. I ended up returning them and opted for the aurora nano lights, much better imo.

No, if it was just delayed then the response would be the same beats but occurred later. I've observed that the light started to respond to the sound but then it would have its own rhythm ...

I've never tried the LIFX, but Hue works very well w/ visualization

Missed this sale, shoot. Looking for some. Can LIFX and Hue be integrated, as to control both sets of lights via one app or button.

They also play very nice with SmartThings.

HomeKit sucks, IMO and I'm an Apple Fanboy

The Lifx is 1100 lumens at 13W and it works a lot better than Hue in my home. I returned the Hue and got the Lifx instead, mine is now set at brightness 30% vs Hue at 100%.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like I missed the deal when it was 49.99 per bulb and they raised the price back to 74.99.
If the price is right, just roll the dice.
