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

Poor variety of features, they're are better features on 3rd party apps. So frustrating when you have the best products be totally limited by their software, and it seems like they segregate some features to upsell other products. Unless you feel you need the richest colors possible, you're probably better off buying another cheaper brand, and those might be just as good. Truly disappointing.

I've been using the hue ecosystem for almost ten years. The convenience and ease of use of the lights paired with automation products is second to none. The app is simple and easy to navigate as always. However around the time we lost the Labs features I noticed that in the app my motion sensors no longer displayed ambient room temperatures too. I understand that they were tied into the Lab features but those convienient readings were relied on to help regulate my house year round.

App works as described and I highly enjoy using our light setup for cinema visual stimulation purposes. Even so, 4 stars from me because there's a monthly subscription fee for using it instead of purchasing the bridge which I have as well but even that option will run you $300 plus giving you the option to not pay a monthly fee of $2.99
