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.

Ratings and reviews

It works as a basic control app for our lighting, but there are some design decisions that just baffle me. For starters, the music sync option is limited to just Spotify. It would be nice if they took into consideration people using other popular apps like YouTube Music or Google. l also noticed only certain automations have the option to sync with sunrise or sunset. I just want a simple automation that lets me fade the lights after sunrise, but that's simply not an option.

I have enjoyed Hue lights in my home for several years. However, this latest update has changed something that broke the app. I've been signed out of the app and I'm now unable to sign back in. It gives me a message that my sign-in failed and to make sure my device's date and time are set to automatic (it is). I know my password is correct too since I use a password manager. So I can't log in to control my lights and the app is warning me I'll lose my data.

Nightmare to update software. Shows need update the lights so I turn on all the lights yet always shows try again later. Too many menus, useful settings buried deep. app forces you to assign new light to a room so adds another step when want adjust light. Anytime power goes out all the lights go on so if on vacation come back with alights all on. qr codes never works says scan other but then other say error. now one light just randomly turns on, when turn off it turns on again with no reason.

What’s new

All buttons on every switch now support the same set of actions. Trigger scenes with press-and-hold, start dimming from any button, and more. Previously limited options are now available across all buttons.
