Not sure about other widgets as I don't use them too much, but today I set up the Hue widget so that I could access my most commonly used lights quickly.
Setup is straightforward via the Hue app, but after that its pretty flakey. Tapping on a particular light in the widget often has quite a delay before the light comes on. Once on, the button will say 'off' to turn it back off, but after a few seconds that wording goes away. At that point to turn the light off you need to tap the button again which is now the 'on' state, before it will say 'off' at which point you have to tap it again to turn the light off. Wait too long and the 'off' wording will disappear again.
Also, sometimes after configuring things in the Hue app, and then closing it (including out of multitasking), the widget will say its not available, before randomly returning to normal at some point thereafter.
Anyone else having the same issues? Its almost not worth the effort using the widget, and easier just to go straight into the Hue app itself.
