I have my house converted to to “smart” so we can use Alex’s and Siri to lock all doors and close garage doors and turn the lights on and off. So with that said I love hue the work, they always just work and makes us all happy. There is nothing more frustrating than having to constantly fiddle to keep things working. Plus they work both Alexa eco systems and Siri very nice!!

Always a simple, go-to smart solution for my in-laws. The QR code setup is a breeze, was very easy to add to an existing Alexa-enabled system. Price is relatively high but do far the life is long in Hue products. There is Bluetooth connectivity but I have no use for that.

Works with Alexa if you understand the app....easy!
I have 2 for my outside garage, one for my porch and one for my living room. All 4 are paired with Alexa. I don’t understand why reviews state they can’t pair. Make sure you have 3rd generation and let your echo discover it. Make sure you understand Alexa app...that’s all

It costs a small fortune to use these for every outlet but if you can afford it, it's well worth it being able to choose from the spectrum of white colors. The ambiance bulbs are probably more practical than the color bulbs which run twice as much. My only complaints are lumens are low and when you have as many Hue bulbs as I do, you need to begin to use multiple Hue hubs which the Philips Hue ecosystem almost seems like was never intended for.

I'm new to the Hue world and I am impressed. Simple setup...great function...and while it also provides for some fun with the voice controls via Echo or Google Assistant, it also provides peace of mind as you can control the lights while away. Nice.

I am in my 70s and I have a number of Hue bulbs in my house. I use them with Alexa for voice control and also program them for when I am away. These completed my home setup.
They are easy to set up and use for both purposes.

Lights are great but at the end of the day with anything like this, if the app is not good then it does not matter how good the item is.
The app is great, works well and is easy to use plus the add-ons from Lutron work so well with it.

The Philips - Hue White Ambiance BR30 (2-pack) Adjustable White bulbs put out surprisingly good light. They are easily linked to the Philips - Hue Bridge, and can be adjusted to the full array of whites.

I bought these to use outside in the backyard. I didn’t know they were meant to use indoors only. It’s a good light I use it was brighter. It’s under a roof so it should be ok. I would recommend.

I have over 50 Hue Lights of all types in my home. They work great.
Also I have 14 lifx lights outside my house. The lifx bulbs are more vivid in color and brighter and they can be used outdoors unlike the Philips hue.

Wanted to move to LED bulbs to reduce heat that the old bulbs were putting off. This did the job. Also, went with hue in order to only light part of the room when the other side isn't needed.

This is my third room completed with the Hue system over the last couple months. Easy set up. Plenty of color options and default scenes available. Used mostly for dimming and routines with no issues.

I bought a dozen of these for my basement renovation and they’re great. Love Hue. Problem is, one of the bulbs didn’t work and I didn’t find out till after the return period was past, because my project got delayed due to COVID. And it’s quite an expensive bulb. Lesson: please check your product right away Even if you’re not going to use it yet.

I love the fact that these come in a two pack. Also, the fact that they are one white instead of color. I'm using them in my hallway to keep it dimly lit at night.

Added these in the theater room so can adjust lights at different levels, turn off on command, have only 1 of the lights come on. Flexible and helpful so not walking around in the dark.
