About this app

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

Organise 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 favourite colours.

Set up bright home security 
Make your home feel safer, no matter where you are. The Security Centre lets you programme 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 energised, 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 customisable 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 colour 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 colours — 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.

Really annoyed. Had hue products for years and had no problems. Renovated my home and spent over £1000 on hue lights and sensors. Since I've done this no automations work, sensor doesnt do what I tell it to do. I've reset everything and re-added and it just doesnt work. Always bragged about how great this system is, no more. Might aswell purchase cheap brands.

Not a great start. Bought a Hub Bridge Pro. App connects no problem to the Bridge Pro. The only issue is I cannot connect a single bulb to the Bridge. I have tried multiple bulbs and the Bridge just won't add them. I can connect to each bulb via BLE. All great. Not an impressive start!! After spending several hours on this I'm at the point of returning the lot.

It used to work really well but the last 2 months it has been awful. Both me and my partner have problems connecting to the app/ lights. It takes up 10mins before we can connect to even 1 light. We have done updates and even deleted and reinstalled the app but it is still awful. I feel cheated as have spent alot of money on lights that I can no longer use. I would no longer reccomend hue lights. Not until they fix the app.
