Description

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.

Use Siri Shortcuts for quick control
Use the Shortcuts app to create shortcuts that you can place into widgets on your Home Screen for even faster control of your lights. Turn lights on or off, adjust their brightness and temperature or set scenes – all without even opening the app.

Needs multi bridge update

I love the look and function of this app except the lack of multi bridge support. Having to toggle between them is not support. If other third party apps can do it seamlessly so can Hue. The only reason that I use this instead of the others is that my husband really likes the handy bar interface. I like it too. And as soon as they update the multi bridge function I will spend more on outdoor lights. C’mon Hue take my money.

Really frustrating

New app is slower, has less features and more difficult to navigate. Losing the timer is a huge deal breaker and wish I never invested in such expensive lights knowing I wouldn’t have that feature. If I could go back to the old app I would, no good new features to this one.

Worst part of the ecosystem

This app does a terrible disservice to the entire Philips Hue ecosystem on iOS. It constantly overrides HomeKit under the guise of bringing the apps in “sync”. Instead it overrides rooms you created in Apple's home app, deletes non-hue devices, and generally messes up your settings. I recommend deleting the app after every time you need it to set up a new device, and keep it off your phone and away from your HomeKit system.

Developer Response ,

Hi, the way that the Hue app communicates with Homekit is a bit of a one-way street, changes in the Hue app will always be updated in the Homekit app but not vice versa. There isn't a way to bypass this, we're afraid, we recommend that you make all of your setup changes in the Hue app instead of only in Homekit.
