Solid so far
I have mostly Philips bulbs but also a few GE Links. So far, everything has worked as expected. The only problem I had was in transferring my old hub settings to the new one. Kept hanging on a firmware update for the new hub. This occurred within the same few days that Philips released a firmware update to block new uncertified 3rd party bulbs and then changed their mind. So I waited a day and tried again and everything worked fine. I figured it must have been related to expecting a firmware update that was no longer on the servers. Other than that, everything has worked as expected. HomeKit integration is nice.

Great upgrade. Worth it for homekit
Our old hub broke just as this came out. It's mostly the same with a better shaped A/C adapter, but the biggest benefit is the homekit compatibility.

Easy to set up
I purchased this hub, along with a dimmer package to begin home automation. Setup was easy. Works great. It also integrates with NEST also.

Control your bulbs with your phone/tablet.
This bridge allows you to control this bulb with your phone/tablet. Apple users can use Siri to turn on/off the lights.

Homekit capable
This newer bridge allows you to use iOS Siri on your hue lights. The setup was straightforward and there's an easy option to transfer your lights from your old bridge.
