Customer Ratings & Reviews

love the different colors when watching movie in night

Definitely worth the purchase if you have multiple hue bulbs. Makes set up a breeze and lights work flawlessly especially when using different devices to control them.

Works good, got this in order to somplete my setup and extend the for HUE lights and HUB.

I’ve had few bulbs and smart lights for many years and had a first generation bridge although I was told that the first generation bridge could be a matter of compatible through your software updates. I was experiencing a high-pitched home and interference throughout my house that was very hard to track down. It turns out that this was emanating from the bulbs and related to an outdated Hugh bridge apparently replacing the bridge seems to have solved the interference and high-pitched noise that was driving me crazy

First of all, Phillips is a world-renowned brand, so you can already know what to expect. It is a small, beautiful and with a blue light that does not bother. Too easy for config

I purchased this because i kept getting messages from the app telling me that the gen 1 bridge was no longer supported by the manufacturer. I was a little disturbed to find I'd need to spend another $60 to keep an already overpriced system running. Connecting (replacing existing gen 1 unit) was a pain in the neck! I pulled the old unit out and connected the gen 2 unit only to find that I still needed the gen 1 connected. So I had to reconnect the old one again so it could update the gen 2. All in all, the gen 2 bridge connects a little faster than the gen 1 which is the reason I rated it 4 stars. The hassle of connecting and waiting for the update and the excessive high price is the reason I didn't give it 5.

it was a bit tricky to install at the beginning and pair up the lights but after that everything has been seamless

It was a breeze to set up but needed an open port on my router which was already in use. The app was easily set up. To rename lights I had to repair the app to the bridge after naming them or they would not be recognized. It easily connected to my echo also

This is great product is great but the price is high… and while it is the mist reliable home automation I have used it is still not as reliable as it should be for basic things like turning the lights on and off. I will recommend this because it the best if you are someone who enjoys tinkering. If you just need to work all the time amd not think about then home automation tech will probably frustrate as it is today. Things do improve so my review could be outdated in the coming months lol

Great product that works with all my HUE lights and lets me turn them on and off remotely.

I love the Philips Hue Bridge and its versatility in controlling my Philips Hue lights. I've installed the system in my home, my sister-in-law's home, and my mother's home. It's incredibly easy to use and creates an instant light show when paired with the iLightshow app. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their smart home experience.

Really easy to setup you just plug it in and connect it to the internet and then you have access to all of your lights in your home. So far no problems so a great product.

Easy to set up, thorough instructions. Works like a charm!

I got this product just because I wanted to play around with the idea of starting to get into home tech. Never thought buying light bulbs could be so exciting! Have yet to face any issues. Setting the lights to turn on in the morning with my alarm, setting lights to turn on automatically when I get home, being able to turn off lights from work, having lights turn on darker between a certain hour so my SO doesn't wake have all changed my life for the better. It's also fun to play around with colors for rooms after they are fully fitted with Hue bulbs. Compatibility with Homekit has been flawless but I am planning on purchasing Google Home. I started out with the hub and 1 bulb because I didn't want to commit to something I thought might be a gimmick. I'd recommend getting the kits when on sale because it's a much better value.

I upgraded my 1st gen Hue bridge to this guy to be able to access Hue Sync on my PC. It was easy to set up just mainly plug and play like the 1st gen. Although I do have the 1st generation lights as well this guy seemed to have some issues pairing up to the lights initially. I had to type in each serial number off my lights to get them to connect to the new bridge. But once they're connected all is good! I know the this guy (2nd gen bridge) is needed to access some Hue features such as Hue sync.

Very stable throughout my daily usage. Very reliable with lights and app is even more intuitive than I would have imagined. Bridge is fairly priced. Set up in under 5 minutes

You don't have to really connect it to a router. An orbi satellite is fine. My previous hue bridge gave out. So got this one that more newer and works like a charm. Reminder if you connect this with your hue play light bar, check for serial number on the tag attached to your cable when it ask to sync for your lights. I do plan to get some more Philips light in the future when there is sales so it's got to keep this in mind when you get a hue bridge

I have no complaints with the Hue bridge. I use it with Alexa and via my iPhone Hue app. I also integrate with IFTTT for automation trigger recipes. It works flawlessly. I have two Hue bulbs I use in lamps and one LED light strip.

This is the main part of your Hue system. This is needed to connect all your lights and control them. You also need to use the Hue app to set everything up. It will have firmware updates from time to time. Easy to setup. I had it all setup in a very short time. The main app from Hue is not the greatest, but it is needed.

This product works great. The link it provides between my Alexa devices and Philips Hue lights makes my life so much easier.
