New Tab for Hue is a Chrome add-on developed by NOIR APPS PTY LTD that allows users to control their Philips Hue smart home lighting system directly from their browser's new tab page. With this convenient tool, users can easily manage their Hue lights without the need for separate apps or devices.

One of the standout features of New Tab for Hue is the Hue Scene widget. This widget allows users to quickly change and set their Philips Hue lights to a premade scene, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Additionally, the Hue Group widget enables users to toggle on and off a Hue group or room, control individual Hue lights, or adjust the colors of their smart lights, all within the widget itself.

A new addition to the app is the Hue Bookmark Scene widget, which allows users to set a Hue scene and go to a website in just one click. This feature is perfect for those who enjoy multi-tasking and want to streamline their browsing experience.

In addition to the lighting controls, New Tab for Hue also offers a Link widget, which provides quick access to frequently visited websites. The widget keeps a counter of how often each website is visited, making it easy to prioritize and navigate to your favorite sites.

The welcome screen of New Tab for Hue displays the current time, day, and date in a non-intrusive overlay, allowing the background image to take center stage. Speaking of images, the add-on offers a wide selection of wallpapers to choose from, including abstract, nature, cities, and wildlife. Users also have the option to upload their own background image or choose from a range of hand-picked colors if they prefer a minimalistic look.

Overall, New Tab for Hue is a user-friendly and feature-rich add-on that enhances the convenience and functionality of Philips Hue smart home lighting systems. With its intuitive widgets and extensive customization options, controlling your smart lights has never been easier.
