Q: What is the difference between this one and the 2nd Generation model
A: The 3rd generate has better blues/cyans/greens than the 2nd gen - but the important part is the wireless security implemented. The 3rd gen hub uses secure Wi-Fi connections. This is a requirement for any device to be compatible with the Apple Home app. This means that the 3rd gen can be controlled using Siri.
A: A single bridge can support up to 50 lights. So, you would only need one bridge in most cases. I guess its possible the bridge could be in a location that couldn't reach some of your lights but i have not seen anyone complain of such issues.
Q: How many bulbs are in this starter kit?
A: 3 bulbs in the 3rd generation color/white starter kit. it also come with a bridge
Q: How long do the Gen3 bulbs last?
A: The spec says 25000 hours. It's not clear if this is the MTBF or if is the L70 curve. If you run them for 8 hours every night, that should work out to about 8.5 years of life. My guess is that some will probably fail before 25000 hours and some will fail after that. Part of that will probably depend on how cool the bulb stays when it is operating. In an enclosed light fixture, they will get hot.
Q: Does this work with google home? How do you set it up?
A: Yes, these bulbs work with Google Home. You just download he Google home app and hue app and follow the instructions to integrate the two.
A: Yes you're able to put them in an outside light as long as it's close enough to pick up the wifi. However you'll only be able to turn them on if you are connected to the wifi on your phone and the signal is strong enough. The only reason you wouldn't be able to do that is if your connection isn't strong enough.
Q: can you change the color with google home?
A: Yes. I use Google Home to change the color. You can change them all at once or choose an individual light to change. I recommend not using numbers (1, 2, 3) when you label each light because Google Home can confuse them for brightness settings.
A: Almost certainly not. Hue uses ZigBee for communication and ZigBee is a low-power standard that operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range. 2.4GHz waves are absorbed very efficiently by water.
