• Yes, you need the philips hue hub as these aren't the Bluetooth version.

  Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

• Sounds like you do not have a Philips Hue hub. These bulbs require a hub for the "smart" features.

  I would recommend:

  • 
    Philips - Hue Bridge - White

• Make sure you have established a Hue account. Make sure that, in Alexa, you have linked this account in “skills.” This should help. Ask Alexa to “discover new devices” to be sure. You would also need the Hue bridge as these lights will not work with out that price of equipment.
