    I was hesitant to start changing out bulbs for smart bulbs in my home, but once I did (they were on sale) I haven't looked back! Especially when paired with Amazon Echo. I can set up different moods, routines, and schedules or use voice commands (with Echo or Google Home) to adjust brightness levels - even turn a lamp into a night light. They are also great for security purposes when you are away from home and you want to turn on a light to keep burglars away.

    This purchase was my entry into making my home a Smart Home. After reading several articles I ordered this package deal. Best Buy was the cheapest and had it in stock. The system is easy to set up and worked as described. I recommend this system to anyone looking to make the leap. Be advised making your home smart ain't cheap. The Phillips hue system worked for me and is comparable to others in cost. The bridge can control fifty lights as well as other smart devices.

    I have 10 hue bulbs(color and white) in 4 rooms. Building my way up to the whole house. Easy install, simple to use hue app, beautiful lighting options and timer(routines) is so convenient . Sometimes I have a problem with Apple Home Kit app and siri recognizing all the bulbs. The hue app doesn't let you group bulbs for chandeliers (or I am too stupid to figure it out). Got an app called "huemote" that fixed that problem . So far so good . Definitely recommend.

    Love my Philips Hue lights

    I was looking for a light setup that would allow me to turn my lights on at random times when I wasn't home. I came across the Philips Hue lights while browsing in Home Depot and then again when I was at Best Buy. I tried them out and highly recommend these for anybody looking at a timer-based lighting setup. These lights are fairly easy to setup and depending on how much you like customizing your settings you can have everything up and running in about 20-30 minutes.

    I was torn between this and LIFX and from what I saw they're very similar but the Hue seemed compatible with more services and its price point was slightly lower. The app is somewhat basic and can get cumbersome if lights are added later to current "scenes". Check out Stringify and IFTTT for further usability.

    Really like the light bulbs to use with my Alexa. The only thing is if you use the light switch like normal and forget to leave it on it doesn't work the next time. You either use it by voice and leave the switch alone or it really is not much use. The product it self is great though.I like walking down the hall and asking for my bedroom light to come on before getting there or coming into a dark house and asking for the living room light to come on.

    My house is in a wooded area and natural light is hard to come by. This product, combined with a few of the color variety and an Echo Dot and I’ve got all the lighting flexibility I need.

    Having full control over your lighting is both fun and useful. Being able to dim any light you choose is great. For extra fun, pair Hue with an Amazon Echo (or Siri) for voice control.

    Our upstairs lights either were always on or else couldn't be turned on once upstairs because it was a dual switch and the downstairs switch was off. Now with the motion activation we don't have to worry about them being left on or running up and down turning on switches. We also love the fact we can program it to be dim after a certain time at night.

    I wanted to change the look of my rooms and add a geek factor to my new home. The Phillips hue bulbs were the easiest thing to do. Completely changed the look of my rooms. They are now interstated with my iPhone and Alexa. Always fun to show to people when they come over how they work. Very easy to set up. I love the hue app for the iPhone. Very convenient to manage lights from local wifi network and from outside network when I am not home.

    I like the secure feeling this system gives me. Don't come home to dark porch or house any more. Not totally intuitive to install and use app effectively. To set up some things, need to install Nest which seems really rigid. Still learning the ins and outs but don't regret the purchase at all.

    This system gives users the ability to control their lighting from a phone, a tablet and of course the switch seamlessly while connected to home network. However, that's barely the beginning of the systems capabilities. It can track your device and turn on whatever lights to have selected upon your device's arrival, It can be programmed to operate on a schedule or it can randomly operates the lights when you're away to appear occupied. Add all that programmability; remote operation, dimmer, schedules, timers and more to an estabilished lighting brand...it's a must have in today's household or small businesses.
