Philips - Hue White A19 Starter Kit - White

This is great for a couple of floor lamps. You will need to hook up the hub to a router. It would be great if it had WiFi option.

We purchased this set to have a better lighting solution in our living room. Rather than turning on three separate lights, my wife wanted to simply turn them all on at once. We didn’t need the colored LEDs so it made it more feasible too. The Hue Hub setup was simple and the app was intuitive. We also purchased an extra A19 bulb and have them all on ‘routines’ in the app and set for the living room. I purchased yet another A19 bulb and have that in the bedroom to turn on when my alarm goes off to help wake up in the morning. Great set, again, it’s a little expensive though. Can’t beat the convenience.

I'd never given any thought to a product like this before - up to now, I'd always used traditional dimmers. The problem with these was either having to replace a wall switch, or using an external dimmer and running additional cords, both of which could be a pain. Then I received an Amazon Echo for Christmas and learned that I could control Hue lights with my voice - what could be easier or cooler than that? So I decided to play and picked up this starter kit. Setup was reasonably easy; I had problems at first because ironically Amazon's Hue app doesn't work at all on my Fire tablet - it won't locate the hub no matter what I do. I switched to the app on my phone, and it located and set up the hub easily. From that point I labeled my two bulbs and created a room, then enabled the skill in Alexa. Now I can tell Alexa to brighten or dim the lights just by asking! It's really very cool and useful, and I'm considering some of the other Hue products to enhance lighting in other areas. The only real problem I've seen so far is that it looks like 5% is the lowest dimmer setting, which isn't quite as low as I can get with an external dimmer. It's pretty close, though, so I'm not too concerned. Otherwise it's a great product.

Got this kit to allow for remote management of lights. Currently using this with the Philips Hue app to turn on porch/deck lights on schedules as well as have lights come on automatically in the living room /bedroom after dark if I'm coming home, no more having to find the light switch in the dark. So much more than I can write about can be done with the hue bridge and hue app. This is a must for anyone who wants home automation.

Just got the Philips Hue starter kit today. Within minutes I had it up and running. The app walks you through the whole process. Then I was able to connect my Amazon Echo Dot to the different areas where I have the lights installed. Worked like a champ!!!

Works well with Alexa. Love the ease of turning lights off without needing to get up

Simple set up. Great for those toying with the idea of home automation. I have this set as well as a few WeMo outlets/switches all connected to my Echo Dot. Makes things super convenient with the ability to set timers and control away from home.

really like how it only took 5 minutes to setup, super easy to use and works perfectly. can't wait to get more bulbs and fill the entire home with smart lighting. Especially useful at night when you want dimmed light.
