This hue starter set with the multi color bulbs is a great way to start automating your Home lighting. It’s simple to install, Note: you need to have a WiFi router for the HUB to connect to. The platform works with multiple devices including Apple, android, Alexa and google Home. The broad range of functionality is limited virtually to your imagination. The colors are brilliant.

Before purchasing this item, I had bought the google home and thought I would like to home automate other parts of my home. The guys were great with showing me several products and I had finally chose the Phillips Hue "starter" kit. It came with a hub and 4 smart lights. The setup was easy and integrated with the google home within minutes ( I do not know about Alexa or Apple integration). The instructions for setup were a little lackluster but did not impair the setup to prevent it from being effective and quick. It was as simple as downloading the Hue app, removing the old light bulbs, putting the Hue bulbs in and clicking on the hub. Having it connect through google home appeared seamless and easy. The longest part for me was deciding what to name each light. The one challenge I did have was creating “voice shortcuts” in google home to work with the Hue system but that is not Phillip’s Hue fault. I would have like to see a little more instruction/detail of what types of color names that the hue system bulbs could be set at so I would not have to research all the varieties of color. However, that was not enough to change my rating from an excellent product and I would buy it again.

Lights, Colours, Action action action..... thata all you’ll get with these lights.... action.... After I had a $3300 Phillips Ambilight Tv explode on me in 2007 I vowed never to by a light from them again..... i also divirced my wife because I blamed her for the TV blowing up... anyways the Hue lights are hot and hot attracts hot... many mood settings, great investment, Apple Home compatible

Fun and convenient with easy set up. Hue bridge requires a wires connection, which isn't a big deal but I didn't know that going in. Works well with Google Home and the IfTTT app for easy voice control. Enable location and lights will turn on/off automatically when you come home or leave. The sunrise feature is a nice way to wake up. Having a strong network is highly recommended.

Love this product. It's a bit pricey but worth it. This is a great way to add a nice feel to the living room space. Perfect for "Netflix and Chill".
