I wanted the ability to turn the lights in my home on and off while away. This does that and more. A bit pricey but, the different features make up for it. You can turn lights on and off or set mood lighting right from your phone. Also have the lights paired with my Nest Protect smoke detector. So my lights will flash if an alarm is triggered. Phillips Hue app is a bit limited but, there are a lot of other apps that are compatible and might fit your needs. Overall a great addition if you are into home automation.

Bought this starter kit to hook up to my Amazon Echo. Set-up was super quick and easy and Echo controls flawlessly all the time so far. The lights are nice and bright and are comparable to "regular" bulbs. Nothing negative to report. already recommended to all my family to help get them started on home automation.

Used this to link up with an Amazon Echo. Added another Phillips HUE light as well as some less expensive GE Wink compatible BR30 lights (which the HUE controller supports). The HUE bulbs work flawlessly with the controller and the Echo. The GE bulbs sometimes don't respond, but one of those was defective (has been replaced and now working much better). Overall, the system is easy to use, being controlled either by my iPhone or via voice commands on the Echo. You can create groups enabling you to control more than a single bulb (think several lights in a room or area), so even if you have a wall switch that controls many bulbs, you can create a group that just turns on a subset of those - pretty cool. Overall, a very easy to use system that is expandable, reliable, and flexible. Highly recommended.
