Reviews of chromehue for philips hue:
It says "Network not available" It doesn't work. Useless
it doesn't let me scroll the list of lamps/rooms, so i can't control all of my lights because they're off the bottom of the extension popup
For me, in 2021, the directions are: Put in the IP of the bridge in first, then press Authorize bridge, then run to the router and press the button on the Hue Bridge. After that, works perfectly. Smoother than the official app on the phone.
