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

Terrible. App doesnt REALLY let you customize anything, but it lets you make an automation that usually wont work. Most of the time it chooses its own color and ignores any input, if you manage to get it to turn on at all. Little more than a headache, youll end up getting out of bed to unplug the thing at bedtime, which defeats the entire purpose of the thing. Recommend trying a different brand, this one is not the one and the app is largely useless. Oh, and they collect a ton of obscure data.

Worked great for a while, but as of this past update, I'm having similar issues as everyone else. App constantly just says, "Failed to connect," and the only way is to remove any lights I have and re-connect them only to have to repeat this same cycle every time I turn the lights off. I'll change my review if it gets fixed. My girlfriend on iPhone has no issues.

In order to use routines in every day life you need to turn on your selected routine Every. Single. Day. You can't just select the days of the week. Also, there's no option to turn off fade in. I'm very sensitive to light and the lowest setting is for 10 mins. That means I'll likely wake up much earlier than I intended. Please give us more features.

What's new

You can now set your cameras or sensors to trigger an alarm automatically! If you have a camera with a Secure plan, you can even choose which type of motion — a person, animal, vehicle, or package — triggers an alarm with advanced, AI-powered alerts.
