Customer Ratings & Reviews

Philips Hue is perhaps best known for it's interoperability with a large number of apps and services. It has an open API that lets just about any developer create an app or service that works with the Hue system. This Hue bridge is necessary to control most Hue lights (a select few have limited control without the bridge). One bridge supports up to 50 lights. It lets you divide the lights into rooms so they can be controlled together; or you could operate each light independently. If you want to be able to turn the lights on and off with physical wall switches like you can with a traditional light, you will need to buy a compatible Hue switch (there are a couple different types available).

What can you really say about this other then you have to have the bridge if you want to use hue lights in your home. It is every easy to set up and small enough to hide away. I haven't had any issues with it.

What can I say? It does what It's supposed to do. Using the Philips Hue app on my iPhone, I'm able to set all kinds of different light themes and adjust lights as a group or individually. Works flawlessly. I only have 3 smart bulbs, but I'm sure this would play well with light strips or any other Philips Hue device. Only reason I give it 4 stars is I'm unsure about the quality. I had a previous Hue Bridge that came with my light kit (Bridge and 3 bulbs), and it died fairly quickly. However that was likely a fluke, so I wouldn't say it's worthy of judging this product entirely.

Made my new hue lights work. Must have in order to set up and use the hue lights. Add the sync box to really complete the setup and have the lights synced with your entertainment. Perfect for concerts!

I've had another brand of smart lights for a couple of years and avoided Hue because of the price. I ended up purchasing some lights and hub during a sale and now wonder why I waited so long. There are more colors (can actually see subtle differences) and the colors are richer than with the other brand I have. There are numerous third party apps that give the Hue lights greater functionality. On top of that, the reliability of these lights has been great.

Philips hue hub gives freedom to control lights, sensors, and works perfectly with other devices like Alexa and Homeapp

Hue bridge is easy to use and connect devices. Disappointing they don’t have a package for the br30 lights and or hue strips. I purchased this to use for those lights. Otherwise product works great. Sometimes there’s issues where it states it’s connected but when I turn it on from the app it doesn’t turn on. So I’ll close the app and wait then it will work.

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).

Very easy to set up, sleek and small so it doesn't look like another big piece of junk connected to your computer

Nice and easy to use, its controling a fell lights on my house

The hue bridge is a necessity when setting up any hue products to your lighting automation. very easy to set up. When i first set this up i noticed that my wifi signal would drop to a very low speed, sometimes dropping my connection to my devices. this is because the hub uses a signal similar to what your router/ modem uses. change the channel on your router if you witness this problem. I found this out by visiting a couple of YouTube channels and i was back up with no problem.

Got the whole Phillips hue set I’m glad I bought it good purchase

Great product for a great price and easy to set up

Helps us control our lighting and works like a charm. Easily control your lights from you phone with a well polished app.

Easy to hook up, easy to connect and works well. I use it with all my google home products and it’s seamless

Easy setup and worked as intended. I placed it upstairs and all my lights are downstairs. Haven't had any connection issues.

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.

I've owned the Hue Bridge 2nd generation for almost a year now and I have been very pleased with how well it works. I have 8 lights connected and they all work seamlessly with all my home automation tasks. Siri, Alexa, IFTTT all work great with Hue. Lights may looks connection from time to time, but just try toggling them on and off again and they should be good to go. One caveat, make sure lights are close enough to the bridge (20 or so meters I believe is the max distance they can be).

Amazing gadget. No lag. Very responsive and easy to use.

Great product and easy to install. The app can sync easily to multiple lights through the devices.
