It is not Bluetooth. You will need WiFi to use the app on your smart phone. With WiFi and internet you will be able to control the lights from anywhere in the world that you have WiFi internet access, which would not be possible with Bluetooth alone. If you are going to get home late and it's already dark you can use your phone to turn the lights on before you even get close to home. Data rates may apply with whatever phone plan you have. I currently have 21 Hue color bulbs and I will be adding more soon. Not necessarily an inexpensive proposition, but the Philips Hue products integrate with the Google Home products for immense flexibility.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your Hue bridge must be connected to a wireless router, the wireless router sends the signal to your bulbs as the Hue bridge does not have any WiFi capabilities. The Hue bridge must be connected to the wireless router using a ethernet cable that goes from the bridge and connects to the wireless router. It does not matter if the wireless router is connected to the internet or not.
