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.

Could be so much better, and was... randomly logged me out and didn't seem to like having to use a browser other than Chrome to log in, feels like it's because they can't track you outside of Chrome. Used to be able to set multiple lights in the same room to the same colour, not anymore, now you have to select a light, set the colour, select the next light, try and find the same colour. Third-party apps can help!

Over the last two weeks or so these lights have been a nightmare. The app is broken, showing my Home as "connecting" without ever doing so. This means i cant access any features on the app for the bulbs i have. The google home connection has also stopped working intermittently meaning i have tp keep disconnecting and reconnecting lights - timing makes me think they must be related. They've been great for years but now, it's just broken.

Absolutely useless app. My hub has been "updating" for around 8 hours and the app gives 0 indication as to how far along that process may or may not be. We have 6 Google Nest Audios, tplink kasa on every socket, and home assistant + raspberrypi controlled devices. Not a single one of those has had any sort of update/network issues. It was easier to setup Xiaomi lights and I had to proxy the traffic to Spain to get those working. Not impressed at all with Philips, very disappointing product.

What’s new

Get more from your wired wall switches. MotionAware now works with 1-channel and 2-channel on/off wired modules as well, giving you more ways to use motion detection with your existing setup. You can also choose additional device modes for 1-channel and 2-channel on/off modules and 1-channel dimmer modules, giving you more flexibility in using wired wall switches.
