Inside my computer, I have a set of the NZXT Hue + LEDs. They have been great except fo the cam software. It crashes and slows down. It doesn't let me log in sometimes and it sometimes doesn't recognize the LEDs. Is there a third party app for the Hue + that works a bit better because I could really use a better version?

I'm pretty sure the Hue+ only works with CAM.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Have you updated to the latest version of the software?

I think the only way to control the hue+ is through cam. I rarely encounter problems on my cam software tho.

@wkelly and this too. the last problem i encounter is when after my cam starts up and logs in it won't show up. A quick update or reinstall does the trick too
