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.

Ratings and Reviews
Can be confusing
The app works great for white lights and does dim them, whether on your WiFi or remotely. The only problem I have is if you turn your lights on say for when your get in. Don’t turn off manually from light switch as it doesn’t work with the app to turn on, use app to turn on and off. Geofencing works good when I enter garden my lights turn on as should be.
Developer Response ,
Hello Cihanntdfu. We are happy to hear that you like the app! It's correct that the bulbs need to be powered at all time if you wish to control them with the app. Thank you for your great rating and kind words, we appreciate it!
Horrible update protocol, otherwise fine
The reason for my rating is the way the hue app updates hue bridge/bulbs. Firstly, the process is very, very slow. To make it worse the app firstly downloads data for all bulbs SEPARATELY (in other words if you have 5 same spec bulbs it pulls the update data 5 times instead if once). Only after downloading the data (which can take overnight if you got 20-30 bulbs the bulbs are updated. In other words you get stuck in your house for 24hrs if you want to perform update.
Much more sensible approach would be to be able to update the bulbs either in one go OR separately, and more importantly, to update each bulb as soon as the data for the particular bulb is downloaded.
Love hue but recent updates have issues
I believed I had faulty bulbs, first 1 then 3 went faulty over a few weeks. Turns out that power on setting, under ‘power loss recovery’ has a bug that was recently introduced. If lights are on and are turned off by an automation, the light can’t be turned back on by power switch- even when toggled fast…. Want to put this review up to avoid other users replacing good bulbs unnecessarily (they are not cheap)
