Customer Ratings & Reviews

Why is this so expensive! Its crazy to pay so much for an item that on its own does nothing for you, this should be reduced in price to make the rest of the Phillips Hue products more desirable. There are other lights out there that don't require a hub. The only benefit this offers is the ability to control lights when you are not at home. (But this is an additional feature you need to set up).

I've waited years to adopt any type of home automation, but the Philips Hue Bridge and lighting were so incredible simple to setup that I can highly recommend their products to anyone looking to take the plunge.

The Hue bridge is required of use of the Hue devices and I have enjoyed my Hue lightstrip for the last month. through the bridge you can control the lights through tablet or smartphone to a section of colors. Hue labs is also available where formulas can be added to cycle through colors, set timers or turn on when entering a room. I enjoy a formula that mimics candle flicker.

Very easy to install and there are no issues at all with connectivity to internet and smart lights.

This product is excellent it was easy to connect easy to operate easy to work with other devices

The Phillips hue bridge is easy to set up and operate. It sits out of the way and has never had an connection issues.

I upgraded from the older base and found this to be much faster, it's smaller, and works with Apples Home app. Love it.

You need this if you want to control your Philips hue lights with your IPhone. Without this device you can only control your lights with Bluetooth and that sucks. Using Bluetooth takes a while to connect and you can’t turn on your lights if you’re not home. With this Hue Bridge my wife is able to turn on the lights before she gets home so it’s not so dark.

Small piece of equipment that was easy to install. Can connect many more products through it also. Not just one

For the pst 3 years I’ve had smart lights in my house connected to the hue bridge that comes installed in my Amazon echo. I have never had ANY issues with it. But whenever my power would go out, all of the smart lights would turn on. That can be a bit alarming and startling while in a deep sleep at 3am. So i couldn’t figure it out, but alas! The hue bridge has allowed me to stop that problem. The hue bridge app has setting to control the lights more specifically. So now no more waking up in the middle of the night to a set of bright lights in my eyes.

pricey but works well, good range, super easy setup. I suggest purchasing a kit if you plan to use multiple bulbs because the hue basically ends up being free price-wise

works perfectly once connected. Slim and out of the way . easy set up and APP was flawless...(so far)

This product sits in the background and handles all the lifting for the hue light bulbs. It was super simple to set up and I’ve not had to think about it since. As it works through my internet, the only time it isn’t functioning is when the internet is out.

I bought the this hub because I already had a lightstrip and a few bulbs. So far, Hue has been a great experience. Many people complain that it's expensive, but you are really buying into an eco system and not just buying a piece of equipment. For instance, you can go to the Hue Labs website and download a lot of great formulas that make the system even better. It's very easy to setup and keep running. Highly recommended.

Easy and quick to set up. It is must item for your Philips hue lights if you want to create great atmosphere for your room or house.

Phillips Hue hub really does make a difference with smart lighting. With having a pet at home, we're able to turn on the lights if we're away. So glad to have invested in the Hub!

Replaces my 1st generation bridge which was round. The 2nd generation hue bridge is required in order to use Apple's HomeKit - most specifically for my purposes to give Siri commands to turn off or turn on, brighten the lights, etc etc. But it seems going forward this bridge may be needed for future and other current home enabled integration with the Phillips lights - more than just Siri. What was disappointing is that Philipps was offering an upgrade discount, but every time I tried to apply there was a website issue, so the promotion finished and I ended up having to pay full price for the 2nd Gen bridge.

Brought this when I brought a Hue Go lamp (NOTE: If you're a first time Philips Light buyer, and you want to access all your products features, you'll need this product.) Not going to lie, the material felt slightly cheap out of the box, but this isn't meant to be played with, its meant to sit by your router. And for that purpose, it does it well. Only peeve is that it's so pricy. IMO, it should be cheaper since you're already dropping tons of money on their products. Nevertheless, good purchase.

Works great and the setup options were easy. Multiple zones and "Recipes" setup within minutes of unboxing.

Small enough to hide somewhere and makes the Hue bulbs work to their full potential.
