About

Please set up the Philips Hue Play HDMI Syncbox with the Hue App first and make sure it works before setting up this integration.

Updating from before version 2.0

The 2.0 version is a complete rewrite to allow for multiple entities and modernize the integration in general, however it is a big breaking change.

No functionality is lost it just moved to a different place.
