Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had heard/read mixed reviews in terms of incorporated this version into Home. Can’t say it has given me any problems, and has been a nice addition :-)

If you plan on having a few to several dozen Hue bulbs, I give this 5 stars. If however, you plan to have more than 50 bulbs you may want to plan and rethink this investment. I have two floors with approximately 75 Hue bulbs and therefore required to have two Hue Bridges. Each bridge manages a maximum of 63 bulbs with problems starting around 50. Philips cheaped out when they could have supported more, especially at this price point. Second, the two bridges do not seamlessly interoperate with each other, a massive screwup on Philips part. I have to switch from reach hub to manage my bulbs..... insanely stupid. That said, if you can deal with the limitations, great. Otherwise, I suggest you rethink investing in Philips. I clearly made a terrible mistake.

I wasn't expecting much when I purchased this. I was actually worried this would cause some stress like some other hubs I've used. This turned out to work pretty seamlessly though. Definitely recommend

The hub connects everything. The hub IS everything. Everything must talk to the hub.

Although I used the geek squad to configure my smart home setup, this product is very easy to manage. Once it was installed, I have had no issues making changes to my setup.

The heart of the hue system. I didn't realize I needed this in order for my bar light to work. Overall, everything works fine and no problems so far.

Easy to use easy, set up and always functional never had an issue with this product for years 

The bridge makes it easy to control my lighting from my phone. Easy to use out of the box. Intuitive set up in minutes. Controls multiple devices.

Easy to set up and works great when paired with your phone to turn lights on and off. Great feature for timed lights when you're not home, or for evening time. Great color range too for holiday fun!

I had been wanting Hue lighting for a while and I finally got it and have no regrets. Instead of getting the starter kit I got one bulb and this hub since I only needed to automate my room. This hub looks nice and works great. I'm thinking of getting more Hue products for my room since they can all connect to one hub which create a better connected, more seamless Hue environment.

This is a pretty cool product. I have 3 bulbs in use and all connected to my Echo. I can turn on a light without getting up or even in another room. I set one up for my front and back porch. Works great!

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.

Works to connect the lights to work with wifi, annoying to have another thing connected to the router but it's necessary. More reliable than the actual light strips, had to return some of them after finding them defective.

I recently ran into issues with my Gen 1 Hue system and Google Home and needed to upgrade. It does the exact same thing as the old one but it does appear far more stable and easier to set up.

Installed the bridge and followed the directions. All my Hue lights were recognized. I can use my Amazon Echo to voice control the lights I have lights and a switch to control overheard lights. Love it.

You need the Philips Hue Bridge to go with the Philips Hue Lights. We had to buy ours separate but it was easy to set up with our wifi remote.

Works as attended would buy again. Hub is easy to set up and use. However i had to get crafty...bc i dont have hard wired internet.

As we added more and more Philips lights to our home it was a great addition to add the Philips Hue Bridge to assist in controlling the lights!

Was very simple and easy to install- I’m not exactly an IT specialist but this upgrade to the new bridge took under 10 minutes!

It's right product for Apple's HomeKit users, who can use voice commands to control the lights. Way too easy to swap old bridge and use this. I haven't opened hue app/widget since this installation.
