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.

It's okay over all but I actually liked the old version better... Now it's 2024 and I'm happy with the app and use it for basic control. Nothing too fancy. I use Alexa most of the time to control my lights and I have them still connected to my old Harmony system which is still working. So far so good. I'm most worried they will pull the plug on the Harmony cloud system. It controls my entertainment system. Press one button and the lights dim and the sound and projector comes on.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible for this app to get worse but it seems like it has. Take a clue from Lifx, fade out and in. Why is this SO hard. The closest thing is fifteen menus away in automation and it still doesn't do what I want. Just fade out from the current setting! How hard could it be?!? One complaint per rating. Maybe someone will listen.

Updates to accessories have removed the very features that made me buy the product. I used to be able to set different rooms or groups of lights for different buttons on the wall switch. I had it set so that my On-button and Dimmer-buttons controlled my living room, and the Off-switch would turn off the whole house. This was convenient for turning off all the lights when leaving, without having to wake up the whole house when I got home. The update has made this impossible.
