About this app

The official Philips Hue app is the most comprehensive way to organize, control, and customize your Philips Hue smart lights and accessories.

Organize your smart lights
Group your lights into Rooms or Zones — your entire downstairs floor or all the lights in the living room, for example — that mirror the physical rooms in your home.

Easily control your lights — from anywhere
Use the app to control your lights anywhere you have an internet connection.

Explore the Hue scene gallery
Created by professional lighting designers, the scenes in the scene gallery can help you set the mood for any occasion. You can even create your own scenes based on a photo or your favorite colors.

Set up bright home security
Make your home feel safer, no matter where you are. The Security Center lets you program your Secure cameras, Secure contact sensors, and indoor motion sensors to send you alerts when they detect activity. Trigger light and sound alarms, call the authorities or a trusted contact, and monitor your home in real-time.

Get the best light for any moment of the day
Let your lights change automatically throughout the day with the Natural light scene — so you feel more energized, focused, relaxed, or rested at the right times. Just set the scene to watch your lights change with the sun’s movement, transitioning from cool blue tones in the morning to warmer, relaxing hues for sunset.

Automate your lights
Make your smart lights work around your daily routine. Whether you want your lights to gently wake you up in the morning or greet you when you get home, setting up customizable automations in the Philips Hue app is effortless.

Sync your lights to TV, music, and games
Make your lights flash, dance, dim, brighten, and change color in sync with your screen or sound! With the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, the Philips Hue Sync for TV or desktop apps, or Spotify, you can create totally immersive experiences.

Set up voice control
Use Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control your smart lights with voice commands. Turn lights on and off, dim and brighten, or even change colors — completely hands-free.

Create widgets for quick control
Control your smart lights even faster by creating widgets on your home screen. Turn lights on or off, adjust brightness and temperature, or set scenes – all without even opening the app.

Automatic scheduling is flawed when using back to back schedules. The end time of one and the start of the second one can't be the same, meaning you need a minute off in between. Also, controlling lights on and off does not always work via app. Need to toggle on and off several times to work sometimes, or even needs physically resetting light. Unimpressed with this product.

If you want to have the most infuriating experience with interior/exterior lighting, choose philips hue. This app straight up doesn't work. Lights are constantly stuck in endless connecting mode, so they are unable to be turned on or off. Oh, and that's after you spend a couple minutes creating an account to use a light bulb..... Seriously bad app that is a waste of storage space, which is a shame as it used to work just fine.

Horrible app, I've had issues in the past getting my light to connect to the app but usually it was easily solved. The last couple of months, impossible to connect my light to the app. I deleted my light and tried to add it back (took 2 weeks for the app to find my light again). Don't buy these lights, don't use the app, save your money. It only gets worse from here

- Speaking of Effects, you can now also customize any of them — both existing or new — by changing their intensity (i.e., brightness and speed) and base color.
-The Scattered style is now available on all gradient lights! Set a scene on a gradient light and tap the Style icon to test it out.
