I do not see a way to use Apple Home automations to take advantage of bulb temperature changes. Would be nice if this was possible.
Brightness is good for my activities.
Installation / startup took a few minutes.

Got these to expand on the lights we had and add a Philips Hub. The hub really make this work better with our Alexa set up. Very pleased with the control of home lighting now. It is very simple to set up.

We made the mistake of buying the bulbs first without the hub. When we returned everything worked great and the bulbs have great illumination. Make sure you read the instructions as it is not a simple plug and play. You can control the brightness, but, if you want color, you will have to go with another set.

I tried several different products and none of them were good as this one. I really enjoy the ability to adjust the lighting the way I want using my phone. Very easy to use after you follow the first steps to set up.

Ambiance--yay!

Was really glad to see the Ambiance line of bulbs! Had decided to invest in Philips Hue, but having "dumb" LED bulbs in the recent past I knew that the temperature of the white can really make or break the lighting in a given room. So, thrilled that I can change that feature until I get it just right for my eyes. Not as crazy about the hub--it was simple enough to set up, and seemed to go smoothly (one reason I chose Philips Hue--being new to Smart Home equipment I wanted a "plug-n-play" system, so-to-speak), but I notice from time to time one of the lights on the hub suddenly starts blinking, and a couple of times Alexa has told me it isn't talking to her so she can't fulfill my request to turn on or off lights. Hm. What's with THAT? These instances resolve themselves quickly, however, so I'm not TOO alarmed that my new lights will suddenly become inoperable for any length of time. It's just a minor annoyance and a little unnerving that it happens at all as I'm not messing with the hub or otherwise suffering internet issues when it occurs. Maybe someday I'll research this oddity and see if it is normal, and/or if I can or should tweak my set up to keep it from happening any more.

I couldn't be happier with the hue. I can set the lights to come on when we are away which is a big plus! I haven't played with it much yet, but it appears to have limitless possibilities. Cant wait to set the different moods

It’s easy to set and adjust light timers with the Hue App. These smart lights have just made life a little easier. Some connectivity issues were quickly solved with support by phone. I’m very pleased with the purchase.

Dim Lights, preset lights all with your smart phone. Love the control. No more cheap light timers. Screw in the bulb, and 3 minutes to set your zones and you are on your way.

I have an older home and both the living room and the kitchen only have 1 light switch. I no longer have to stub my toes in the dark. My Google Home immediately turns on my lights when I ask it to. I also love how you can adjust the lighting, from dim to bright and the different hues. The on/off program is a big help too.

Love the smart products that don't take the average person months to learn how to operate. Just set it up, screw in the bulbs and download an app. Now control lighting from anywhere with wifi. Perfect!

Hue lights are the best lights I've ever had. I can control them with my phone or my google mini. I have timers set for a morning routine. A program for when I come home to not walk into a dark house. Also recommend the color lights for a more fun and mood setting options.

I tried another brand that was cheaper. Didn’t work so great. Got these and installed the hub and app. I was able to turn lights on and off quickly. You get what you pay for sometimes.

The bulbs are nice and I like the fact that they adjust. Good for kids rooms since they have a nightlight feature which is close to a low ambient light. We did have some beginner bugs with the software but got it all figured out. Would be nice to have them a little cheaper.

Very useful. Specially if you want to divide your home with different light settings. I programmed the motion sensor to turn the entrance lights on after sunset and works flawlessly.
