A:AnswerYes. I have a google home and phillips hue works fine. But, if you have a Pixel phone you can talk to it as well or use the Hue app on any device.
A:AnswerNo certain about the Google Home but I can tell you all the members of my family can adjust lights via the Amazon Echo we have. I'd assume the logic would be similar.
A:AnswerSuggest taking this up with the mfg. Hue claims 15k hours of use, so at least 2yrs if you leave it running continuously, likely 10+ if you only use them a few hours a day..
A:AnswerYes, using the hue app, or if your smart phone has smart home built in (like HomeKit for iPhone) you can use your smartphone to say a command like "turn on the living room lights."
A:AnswerI believe the hub is referred to the base that controls a specific device(s) where a bridge links a device(s) to your WiFi. For example my hue lights came with a hub. The hub is hooked into my router and controls my hue lights from any where I have internet connection. My August lock is Bluetooth by itself, but with an August bridge, my lock is connected to my WiFi so I can access it from where ever I have internet access. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerYou will have to get the bulbs that specifically have the color hue feature, not just the white. But you can change the color with the app. The app has built in colors that can be used also to make it easier
