Yes you can still operate the light switch manually but if you want to use the full function of Google you always have to have an internet connection
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you will need an internet connection initially to set it up, but other than downloading periodic updates it doesn't access the internet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you don't.an Internet connection will allow you to operate your lights when you're away from home but if you want to operate them when you're at home all you have to have is a router
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To control your Philips lights from your iPhone or your Google Voice, you definitely need a wi-fi network. The base kit comes with a wall switch that communicates on another frequency, so if you only use the switch to turn on and off your lights, I believe you DO NOT need a wi-fi network.
