Play bars straight forward to set up, but the sync box was a pain. Had to do a few factory resets in order for it to eventually connect to the WiFi and then the Hue hub. Now its working, it seems to be functioning well, and the effect is good (best if you dont have it on 100% to keep it subtle in my opinion). There does seem to be a little lag between the TV and the lights so set the transition to slow so its less noticeable. Sync box had been on my list for a while but AOs deal with 2 play bars being cheaper than the sync box on its own was a steal.
