About this app

The official Philips Hue app is the most comprehensive way to organize, control, and customize your Philips Hue smart lights and accessories.

Organize your smart lights
Group your lights into Rooms or Zones — your entire downstairs floor or all the lights in the living room, for example — that mirror the physical rooms in your home.

Easily control your lights — from anywhere
Use the app to control your lights anywhere you have an internet connection.

Explore the Hue scene gallery
Created by professional lighting designers, the scenes in the scene gallery can help you set the mood for any occasion. You can even create your own scenes based on a photo or your favorite colors.

Set up bright home security
Make your home feel safer, no matter where you are. The Security Center lets you program your Secure cameras, Secure contact sensors, and indoor motion sensors to send you alerts when they detect activity. Trigger light and sound alarms, call the authorities or a trusted contact, and monitor your home in real-time.

Get the best light for any moment of the day
Let your lights change automatically throughout the day with the Natural light scene — so you feel more energized, focused, relaxed, or rested at the right times. Just set the scene to watch your lights change with the sun’s movement, transitioning from cool blue tones in the morning to warmer, relaxing hues for sunset.

Automate your lights
Make your smart lights work around your daily routine. Whether you want your lights to gently wake you up in the morning or greet you when you get home, setting up customizable automations in the Philips Hue app is effortless.

Sync your lights to TV, music, and games
Make your lights flash, dance, dim, brighten, and change color in sync with your screen or sound! With the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, the Philips Hue Sync for TV or desktop apps, or Spotify, you can create totally immersive experiences.

Set up voice control
Use Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control your smart lights with voice commands. Turn lights on and off, dim and brighten, or even change colors — completely hands-free.

Create widgets for quick control
Control your smart lights even faster by creating widgets on your home screen. Turn lights on or off, adjust brightness and temperature, or set scenes – all without even opening the app.

I've had these for over two years after thinking for a very long time on whether I wanted to buy into the hype or not. They've become so ingrained to my daily life, I don't ever want to switch back. I have them set to turn on when my alarms go off automatically - much easier waking. I set them to dim and calming colors before bed. I set them to a nice clear, bright light when reading or focusing. They're great. The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is why I didn't get them sooner.

Setting up a switch for a specific light requires a room and a zone and then you can't have it just turn the light on and off. No, you have to select the behavior of the light, none of which let you easily select a specific color. they only present a color wheel that is impossible to select the same color on two lights. I should be able to say a switch is for just a light or a whole room or a zone. I shouldn't have to have all three. Also, the behaviors simply suck. not every light needs them.

The bulbs are fine. The app is not. It lacks functions that even cheap competitors offer in their apps, such as more robust grouping/rooms, timers, and custom rules. I don't have a Bridge, so maybe that's why I lack these features? But other brands manage without it, so it's not an excuse. Philips Hue has the benefit of longevity, whereas these cheaper brands disappear after a while. Were it not for that, I wouldn't use PH at all.
