Though the packaging for the Philips Hue lights do indeed make it clear that you need this to control your lights through voice, I wish it was larger. Setting up the Hue was simple enough and so far I haven't had any issues with connection. The Philips Hue light make the bridge worth the buy!

Works great! I am using it to control light strips for my TV.

I wasn't aware I needed the bridge to make the strip lights work when I purchased them for my son's room. Guess I overlooked that part some how. it was very easy to setup and has lots of color options.

It is the main hub. Easy to set up. Ise step by step on my iphone. It works for my lights behind my tv.

I know why your here. Let me say this, you buy this and you will be buying hue lights for every thing. Its crazy how comfortable when You install all your lights in your home with this device. But it comes with a high price. Expect to invest in a few hundred dollars after buying this.

Works like a champ and was simple to set up. If you’re using Hue lightning this is worth it.

We purchased the Hue as a solution for controlling our outdoor lights. We cannot use a photocell sensor for dawn and dusk because the lights are under an eave and we could not easily install a timer switch. We gave the Hue a try and it works great. Only one glitch, after software updates the schedule may be off for a day, but it usually corrects itself.

No complaints, very easy to set up and works very well. Wish there was an option to turn the led lights off on the device itself.

The bridge is super simple to set up and I keep finding new areas of my home to automate. If you want something that works with HomeKit and can be quickly installed then this is a perfect choice.

This hub allows you to control third party smart bulbs not made by Philips. While Philips did bring back this feature, you can no longer control non-Philip Hue bulbs via Siri or in HomeKit. This is due to Apple's restriction of only allowing those features to "Homekit" certified bulbs. If you don't have Homekit certified smart bulbs you are better off getting the 1st Gen Philips Hub and saving about $30.

Not a lot of detailed instruction or information and I am going OK how does this thing work. They basically tell you to plug it in and push the button. Guess what? THAT IS WHAT YOU DO - and it simply works. Using it with a Google Home that I was given for Christmas and the Hue lights. Love it.

Yes the HUE lights are more expensive than others but the colors that the HUE bulbs can produce are more vibrant. The bride is essential and the backbone to the HUE network. Works with Alexa very well and has been fun retro-fitting the house with these bulbs.

this was super easy to get setup however truly not essential except for the fact Phillips makes you buy it to control the lights. If the app could do scheduled turn off and on like the SmartThings does (in correlation) then this would be a lot more helpful. Changing colors and adding new lights can be too simple sometimes because when I light has problems figuring it out can be a major pain..

You need this to have the Philips Hue sync box to function correctly it was worth it in the long run very expensive though for the whole kit but it's worth it if you want your experience to go up first of all gaming and watching movies

easy to access to android and remote ios control lighting system . Multifunctional ambient lighting for any room. enjoy.

Works as expected but really only useful if you have multiple lights in multiple locations

The original one works great. Returned because did not need. It was a internet issue that made us think this stopped working. But still to the date of the original purchase of the first one...it is still working!

Phillips Hue is the 2nd coming of lighting. Its expensive, but once you get over the sticker shock and dive in, its incredible. You 100 percent need this. The bluetooth options aren't even an option for me.

The item was in excellent condition and it was worth the automation

Worked first time with really quick setup. I've connect 4 can lights, an eyeball light over the fireplace and a reading light and added them all to Google home so I can use Google Assistant to control the lights. Works great !
