Philips Hue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the hue light hub kit to replace an old appliance timer that I have on a couple of lamps in my house. I added the timers to keep from coming home to a dark house. It's a nice unit and when you pair it with a Google home, you get a way to control lights with a voice command. I recommend this product if you are into home tech.

Bought the Philips on an impulse
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were in Best Buy shopping for another item and spotted the Philips smart bulbs starter kit so picked them up. We had been considering adding them or something similar. Installation was very simple, in fact after the log in it did it for us. The only reason I do not give it a 5 star is we cannot connect our Amazon Echo to it. But we are satisfied with operating these from our smart phones, tablet, etc. We get a kick out of our 2018 smart bulb in a 1940's old lamp, picture I have added. The lamp belonged to my grandmother and my husband rewired it. That's quite a different use in 2018 from 1940 , old meets techie. The other is in a rewired lamp from the 1930's. We enjoy the features, dimming, brighter, tones and hues as well.

This is a wonderful product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the starter kit, along with the goggle home mini. I truly enjoy this product. Easy to set up, I put the light bulbs in places that i sometimes forget to turn off the light. I synced the goggle mini, when i get home i say"hey goggle turn on the basement light.ect.bedroom. i can also dim any light....and use them for nightlight. Wonderful money saving energy device, the bulbs last 22 years . these are so great for persons with mobility issues or sickness. They are also great for persons that have children that leave lights on. I would invest and have fun.

Q: QuestionDoes these lights work with a switched lamp
Asked by Jack.
- A:Answer Yes they work on my lamps that have switches, I just turn on the lamps myself during set up and then use the Hue app or Home Smart app to turn them off. I've added Amazon Echo to my home set up and get turn lights on and off without my phone by simply saying "Alexa turn on living room". This purchase led to more Phillips hue light purchases for other rooms in my home and it's very convenient , especially since I'm disabled. Hope this helps, enjoy!

Q: Questionhow far can I have the bulb from the hub for it to still work?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I was told that the light bulbs actually build a "bridge" within themselves along the way as you put them throughout your house. I am not sure that if you have the hub like 100 ft away from the bulb it would work. However,if you put a bulb between the "bridge" and the long distance bulb it should work. Try it and if it doesn't work, just get another bulb and put it between the hub and the long distance bulb and they both will work.

Q: QuestionCan I control the lights from my iPhone when I'm away from home?
Asked by Avreigh.
- A:Answer Yes. But you have to have a hub with the light bulbs. (you can't just buy the light bulbs and control the lights.)
Answered by timotiger
Q: QuestionCan the bulbs be programmed to progressively become brighter at a certain time? For instance, if we wanted to use them as "wake up" lights, could they gradually brighten over the course of 10-15 minutes?
Asked by Gameck2.
- A:Answer Yes they can. I'm not sure why someone else answered no. They are mistaken. You can set your routines to happen instantly or gradually, both for turning on and turning off each light. In the preset routines there's a "wake up" routine where the lights can be set to do exactly the hypothetical situation you described.

Q: QuestionCan I control my lights when my device with the app is not on my home network? Everything is working great while my phone (Android with the Hue app) is on the same network as the bridge, but I've had no luck at all when away.
Asked by LadyK.
- A:Answer To be able to control the lights while away from your home network you have to set up a Philips Hue account and log into it on the app (once you open the app, go to the "more" tab and log in. You have to do this while you're at home, but once you're set up, you'll be able to connect while away from your network. Once you've done that, it will recognize that you're not on your home connection and instead of normally saying "connected" it will say "out of home connection". I tried this in my home to see if it works (I just turned my phone's wi-fi off) and it does but there's a little bit of a delay.
