    Gave this to my husband as a Christmas gift. He loves controlling the lights from his phone and away from home. We linked this up with our echo and love having Alexa turn on and off the lights. Their are times she gets confused with finding the groups so there seems to need to be some improvement between the Echo and the Hue app but the app by itself works fine. We will definitely be adding more bulbs.

    I figured I would try the starter kit and if I liked it, I would expand. I can't wait to expand. I want to do my whole house eventually. I love it.

    This has been a great jumping off point for my automated home lighting. The wife and I find ourselves using certain lamps far more often now that we have these. While it cannot do color it does have the different white options that give you some customization apart from dimming. The ability to turn these on and off when we're away from home is always nice too.

    Had a Little trouble syncing the lights to Alexa, but once I fixed that it is easy to use. A little pricey, but cool to have.

    One flaw

    They are awesome and the color bulbs are even better. I have them through my entire home and they work for all occasions. The only flaw to date after 6 months in is if the power goes out and returns all your lights will come on. You will then have to turn of the light switches or hide until your network is back online. Really sucks at 3am

    Philips Hue in conjunction with my Google Voice works great. I can walk into my office with hands full and tell Google to turn on the lights. I can also control my Nest thermostat, turning the temperature up and down. Lots of fun, and convenient! Once you have the base station, it is fairly inexpensive to expand the system to other lights.

    I really like this jacket and she comes with exactly everything I need for my bedroom. I prefer this one over at the other light bulbs because you can adjust the color temperature on these bulbs so it doesn't look all yellow I also like using it with the dimmer switch because it's super handy.

    This starter kit was a great addition to my apartment, it allowed for me to add lighting and a wall switch to a room that didn't have a ceiling light. The ease of use with the phone app is also a plus and in combination with google home it has become one of the best purchases I have made recently.

    This was easy to set up and works well. It was a little challenge pairing with my Alexa, but I googled tips, and then it was easy :) It had something to do with naming the rooms. This is a great set up if you do not need lots of colors, but want different shades of whites and yellows

    We truly appreciate the convenience of the Hue lights. It is so nice to be able to control them from our phones and also to set up individual schedules for each light. Whether we are traveling or at home we wouldn’t want to go back to living without them.

    Easy to setup, the switch is a genius addition, just mount it on the wall to turn on and off and control dimness. and i can take the switch off the wall and use it as a remote. i can also control it from my phone and change light warmth. really happy with it, recommend it for anyone!

    We were so happy to be able to get this for our apartment and eventually be able to use it in our house. So far it has been awesome not having to have to turn lights on by hand and just asking for them to turn on don't think we could ever go back. Loving this product a lot.

    I've always had a Logitech remote but getting the hub made it so I could use Alexa. Works great. Plus swapping the steps on the app is way better than having to plug in the phone to your pic and update via their website is a big bonus. And you can use your phone as a remote.

    I bought these for my son and his new house. He is tech savvy and wants to use smart home products. He loves the bulbs. They are easy to install and also easy to use. He likes the feature of being able to turn the lights on when not home from his phone.

    This was a super easy setup. We went back 2x to purchase more lights including the string lights, which we put under our kitchen cabinets. We set it up it 5 rooms. Hue can be Alexa enabled and can be used independently with the hue app. Love it!!

    I can’t believe how well the lights work and the features that are available. Was simple setting up Apple Home. Had to make sure to update the Hue lightbulb firmware before I was able to use all the functionality in the Apple Home app.
