Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have tried so many things and returned a few companies products i this learning curve. The HUE lights are highly addictive. At first their point seemed too high for my hobby project that my wife would not accept right off the bat. They’ve lowered the prices and a still pumping out great new products. They are very reliable and very customizable. I love them. I love them I love them. See below for another review I placed about the Google Assistant see just how well the lighting has melded into my wife’s Psyche!!!!! =============••= Yes, “them”. At first I bought one and I bought an Echo also. I kept my Google Home Assistant Speaker and returned the Exho. I have bought 2 of the original style and two of the minis for my home. Couple with my smart switches, outlets and bulbs and with both chromecast to 1 tv and the other to anextra monitor and then 2 of the audiocast to two diffferent high output audio speakers in larger rooms and without an Assistant in those particular my house is coming alive. It’s funny, at first my wife kind of put off and frustrated with me doing this. Now she’s fully onboard, so much that other morning after just awakening she hurting the living to fold some cloths she left on the couch the night beforehand. I was still I bed and I heard her say “Turn Living Room” af few moment later I head her say it again. And then I heard her say “Turn everything on” and I could tell by her voice she was frustrated and I could tell by looking the cracked door that no lights were so. So. I said, the ‘mini’ speaker in my bedroom, “Ok Google, Turn Everything On” and voila the living room, dining room, bed room, kitchen, breakfast, many lamps and the Christmas tree all lit up to the preintendes brightness values. I get up an go toward her and say “Whats Up?” I then say, you gotta say Hey Google or Ok Google first. She said well they came on and I told her I heard and and did it for her from the room. She was irritated that her voice sauce was not tuning on the Lights. I have slowly building my system for about 4 months now. During the period she has become so used to the Speakers and talking to command them that she even thought to just go and Flick a switch or button for any light. She’s used to bossing these rooms around I guess. It was truly very cute and funny. BUT the best part is the feedback. ALL the MUSIC from google play. We have a very extensive Apple iTunes Music Library I have compiled from about 4000 CD and then the stuff we purchase through Intunes. I was actually waiting for the new Apple speaker to show up and that why I don’t have one of the larger model Googles. Apple has not delivered I’m just stick to my Google. Any back to the music. Our purchased library is huge. GOOGLE PLAY is exponentially larger and it rocks. I can come home and say Hey Google play some cool Jazz from the 50 and she will begin to fill the room with all kinds of music and artist I would never even think of. I can ask her to Play Contemporay Christian and she’ll plank all out favorites and a bunch of new songs my local radio stations have not let me hear yet. Wi H google play mynacccount in Yourube is upgraded to Red status. That means no stupid you tube ads and I think higher quality definition. She’ll play YouTube to the assistant and Cast devices in audio and replay the contest on my monitors (better that that echo display) and she’ll play my Netflix, news cast and a ton of other stuff on to my chrome cast. In the morning she tell me about the weather, my travel time and my agenda and reads to me the top headlines. We use the one in the kitchen the most. It is usable from Kitchen Living Breakfast ans Dining room areas with how my house it laid out and where I placed it. A great resource she pull up recipes, set times, and does so much. And now, she able to make phone calls too. The call come from my number so my contact know to answer and still I can use her to call MY phone on those occasions it has misplaced itself. My wife, it know her voice from mine and she can do all the above for her preferences. What I really really really want and am waiting in creating calendar events that tie into my Gmail ( and Apple and Outlook) Account’s and the ability to send voice to text messages from her. And real large on my wants to read and create emails. She say something like, “i’m Sorry I can’t help with that yet”. Come on google. Give it to me. My family came for thanksgiving. They fell in love. On Black Friday I bought a bunch of products to get them for Christmas. They’ll be hooked.

I can't explain how much me and my husband love these light, they are a really good brightness and I love how we can control them with Google. Brightness and all, definitely a good investment

Purchased the start kit to see if these are something I want to invest in for lighting. used these for my entries and hallways...perfect! have invested in 4 more plus 4 multicolored lights

When I bought these , I didn’t know what to expect but man these lights are great . I didn’t know I could dimm these lights until I got them , and you can control the lights with Alexa

Using Amazon Echo to control the lights makes this light set-up convenient. I can dim the lights from the echo just using voice commands. It does take some practice but it is worth it.

We set up these lights in conjunction with the Google Home Mini in no time at all, and now we are enjoying the ease of turning the lights on and off. We also can adjust the brightness.

Installed in light fixtures over a kitchen island, and they work great! Also, works well with Amazon's Alexa, and like that the bulbs can be turned on/off and dimmed using my voice.

I did a lot of research into smart Lights, and decided to go with Philips Hue. It works seamlessly with Amazon Alexa. Took me about 5 minutes to install. Very happy with my purchase

Too easy to install, just plug and download the app, too easy to syncro with google home, to use your voice to control the lights, also can be used without google home

Very convenient. The geofencing feature automatically turns on the lights after sunset when I get to the house! I can also lower the brightness when watching a movie.

Pretty easy to set up. Had some issues connecting to Google home but was easily fixed. Lights are bright and can be dimmed. Not sure what else you could ask for.

I needed to automate some lights in the house. Very easy to set up and turns on and off automatically. able to brighten, dim and turn off and on thru google home

This is a really neat way to control your home lighting. The box comes with 4 bulbs and a base station that is hard-wired into your router. Setup is pretty easy and the accompanying app is user friendly. Pros: Easy setup. Bulbs are bright and provide plenty of light. Bulbs can be used like regular bulbs using the switch, or if the power is left on, you can also use the app to turn on, off, or dim. This one is crazy, the app can be used to update your lightbulb.... yup that's right. Phillips keep the hub and bulbs bug free and secure with updates to both. You can use other apps such as Apple HomeKit to use Siri to turn on and off lights. Cons: Doesn't work with some dimmer switches. I have two different kind in my home, and the switch with an LED light built into the switch doesn't play nice with the LED bulbs. The other dimmer, with a slider to control the dim, works well. Bulbs are a little bit expensive, but claim they last 20+ years based on 3 hours a day usage. Time will tell on this one. Updating the bulbs are slow and can turn on or off while updating, which for some may be annoying. I haven't noticed this when updating mine though. Other thoughts: This is one of those things that no one probably really needs, but really neat to have. Being able to turn off all lights with a siri or alexa command, set lights on timers or geofencing, and being able to add devices whenever you want is pretty awesome.

So far so good very happy with setup. Lights work and fiction as described. Only disappointment is hub doesn’t work off of WiFi. So takes up a port. Beth happy.

Purchased whole on sale and couldn't be happier. Love being able to dim the lights with Google home to watch movies or whatever. Setup was simple and quick.

The Philips Hue Starter Kit came with everything needed to start creating your smart home. The lights are LED, which have a drastically smaller wattage than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, but the same amount of lumens. Setup was easy, and in minutes, I was controlling the bulbs through my phone. The Philips Hue app allows for routines, location based turning off/on of lights, and a host of other features that I enjoy fiddling around with. Along with a smart speaker (such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home), you can turn off the lights without getting up off the couch!

Admittedly these are my first smart home appliances, but they work like a charm. I am controlling them using my Google Homes, but the app works alright as well, though admittedly a bit clunky at times and the widget support on android is pretty poor. (Native app, haven't tried third party apps yet) The only caveat to getting this kit working is that on initial setup you will probably want to hook all lights into the same room. I found the signal to be quite poor before the firmware update. Now that everything is updated the lights connect fine in their intended rooms.

I bought both the Hue White and Hue White and color Light and they are amazing. Easy installation following the instruction. I just had a problem one day, 2 light were out of range. I change the transmission channel, reinstalled the light and everything is fine.

These lights were super neat. Three different modes: bright, dimmed, and night lights. Easy to use. Like that it came with six bulbs. Very nice product!

Easy setup and works great with my Amazon Alexa. I now control all the lights in my house by voice or with the Philip hue app on my phone. I love it!
