During my fiddling with Ambilight last night, I had to install the #Hue app and add the lights to it, and I spent a while playing with the UI. It really is a nice interface for controlling multiple lights, all of them on one colour wheel and you can move each one separately without having to go back a step and select a different light.
On top of that they have some gorgeous scenes with limited colour palettes, when you tap one it applies those colours randomly to the various lights in the room and gives you a harmonious scene with zero effort, and you can tap to make them fade between colours slowly. Some of the scenes are very subtle, lots of sunset ones full of shades of red and orange, floral ones with pastel colours, some really bright and funky ones (I like those a lot!).
These are nice features I wish were part of #HomeAssistant. I found an add-on to replicate the scenes, I’ll give it a go later but I don’t think the UI will be as nice. https://github.com/Hypfer/hass-scene_presets
