Yes, if you conect your phone to the internet, you can use the Hues app to control all the Hue's Lighting in your house. I connect my phone to the wi-fi at work and turn on and off the lights at my house, approximately 11 miles away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. In the Hue app, sign in to your Phillips Hue account (or create one if you don’t already have one) and link your bridge. Alternately, if you end up purchasing a hub such as Wink or SmartThings to increase your home automation capabilities, you can remotely control your Hue lights through the hub.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think every brand of smart bulb has their own hub to work with whatever system (Amazon Alexa or Google Home) you have. Our Phillips hub has a separate app to control lights away from home using a smartphone.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes, I turn them on at night from work for my wife if she is on her way home after dark (don't tell her but sometimes I turn them off from work while she is cooking dinner. She still thinks it is a flaw in the wiring).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can. The app will go into “out of home” mode. It will use you cell data and turn them off or on.
