Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the bridge. Setting it up is so easy and when its synced to a sync box the lights match perfectly. It definately gives the room an amazing feel. At first i was a little skepticle because of the price of everything but let me tell you that its all worth it. If you love movies and shows as much as i do this setup is what you need. Perfect for video games and tv. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to upgrade their entertainment system.

Received this a little more than a week ago, did a bunch of research about smart lighting. Philips definitely has a solid product. Took a few minutes to set this up, a bit longer than I expected (or maybe my router was working slowly, not sure). Followed the simple steps to download the app on my android phone, pushing on the big round button when prompted. This bridge is needed if you want to be able to control the actual smart bulbs, that was not very clear when I first began looking into the whole smart lighting. Otherwise there is not much to this, other than plugging it in with the included wires into AC power and into your wireless router.

Works great. Connects to the lights quickly. I don't like how expensive the Hue bulbs and products are, but they seem to be working well so far. Super disappointed that I can't set the bulbs to change colors. I have to change them manually. Why is that? I'm pretty sure my cheap older smart bulbs are capable of that...

Works well. Direction were easy, compatible with Hue bulbs. Turned on and off on time.

I love this product but am only giving it 4 out of 5 stars because it makes you hook up the hub to an Ethernet port. I have WiFi points all over the house but since everything uses WiFi I don't have very many Ethernet ports. I assumed this product could be setup with WiFi but it has to be manually plugged in. Besides that, the product is awesome! You can add and control all your lights and setup really cool ambiences and scenes. The app works good but is always getting better. If you buy, make sure you check out the "explore" options and go to the Hue Labs to find cool routines and programs you can run on your lights.

I love hue light. I have my whole house set up with lights and led bars . I have it hooked up to alexa also so I speak to her and adjust my lights as needed with out having to move a finger . As well with my new samsung tv is has Hue sync and it enables me to sync my light with my tv so movies and tv shows it help captivate you more with the all the lights synced with tv. A must by in my eyes .

Very little to say other than it does what it supposed to do. One caveat: I had the bridge connected to my router in my home office and the lights are in the den. That was too far away to control the lights. I have an Ethernet extender that connects into the AC outlet, for my TV along with an Ethernet hub. I connected the bridge there and it works fine now. I do think they are over priced and the bulbs too, but I hope they will come down one day.

Connects without issues. This was a replacement from one I had years ago so they last a while

Easy setup to wirelessly control my HUE lights. No connectivity issues and a solid performer. Recommended.

Amazing and intuitive, the connection is incredible and have never had an issue

I was holding out on wanting to get this Bridge because I really just wanted to control everything through my Alexa device. However, after having some trouble with my voice commands on my Philips bulbs, I finally buckled and purchased the Hue Bridge. I was so surprised at how easy everything was to set up. The biggest reason for me originally not wanting to get this was because I don't have the best luck with setting stuff like this up, but I was able to set up the Bridge and all my Philips Hue Bulbs in less than 30 minutes. I have about 8 bulbs total in my home. On top of it all, I really enjoy the different themed color profiles that are provided, it really helps set the mood for movie nights at our place! Going back to Alexa, this helped make the integration seamless. I was able to set it up within its own app as well as being able to control every bulb, room, section with minimal effort using Alexa. The only thing I wished was that this device didn't need to be hard wired into a free Ethernet port. I was lucky enough to free up my one and only port, but it would have been nice had this been capable of being wireless. Other than that though, the design of it is small, simple and clean, allowing me to discretely place it in my entertainment stand.

Got some HUE lights as a gift but Iwas having an issue linking them together. Bought the Bridge and instant success. I can control 1 light or all the lights and also have my thermostat, and other items all connected through Alexa. I love this thing!!!!! Made it so simple

This is a great product. My daughter lost her bridge during a recent move and she was totally lost withiut her hue lighting. Highly recommend these Philips products!

Bought this to control my home lights from outside my house easy to set up, very nice design, good quility product, working perfect but unable to schedule automatic on/off from the app.

The Philips Hue Bridge has been the backbone of my smart lighting setup for a few months and it just works. Setup through the Hue app was painless and it connects to all my Hue bulbs and accessories reliably. Response time for turning lights on and off is nearly instant through the app or voice assistants. Having everything centralized through one hub makes automation and scheduling a breeze. Essential piece if you are investing in the Hue ecosystem.

Works great to control all my hue lights! I have several lights and it works well to control all of them and it lets me organize by floor and rooms.

The Hue Bridge makes operating a set of Hue bulbs much easier. Sometimes when you buy the bulbs that can be operated by Bluetooth, it can get choppy, but the bridge keeps everything smoothly running.

Easy to program with the app,I can control all my lights

You can use Philips lights without this, but it's way more of a pain to do so. If you use them without this, you have to be on the same WiFi network as the lights and connect to them via Bluetooth to use them. Meaning, you can only control the lights when your phone is near them. However, this makes it so you can control your lights from anywhere in the world you can access the Internet from your phone. Very convenient. I will say this bridge was a bit of a pain to set up. I connected it to my WiFi router via Ethernet cable and I think I had to unplug, replug and play with the Bridge about 10 times before it connected as it did. Once I got it set up though, it worked just brilliantly. But setting it up is a pain. Overall, brilliant add to a Philips lighting package.

It works as advertised, though I resent having to download an app-- it would be better if this device came with its own program loaded on the device itself. Anyways, it feels good to put my lights in candlelit and party mode.
