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.

Works well for turning lights on and off. The toggle for adjusting brightness would benefit greatly from an update offering better control. It's very difficult to set it to the desired brightness. Go for 50% and I constantly get either 49 or 51% and it's very aggravating. It shouldn't be such a chore to achieve the precise brightness rather than an approximate brightness when using a native APP.

Lights and physical hardware are great but app gets worse with each release. Really makes no sense on something so internet / app reliant. Labs are gone gone. Widgets reinvented to be far worse; then reinvented again so that they no longer save to my screen at all. Limited control of sensors. Just more and more disappointment. Third party apps and automations are the only thing keeping Hue working. I no longer advise friends to buy into this ecosystem since it is moving backwards each release.

I've had the phicical lights for almost a year now and they are amazing! But when my old phone broke I lost access to the app entirely, I tried redownloading the app to access the lights again but I can't, it want me to make an account to connect the lights but I did not have to do that the first time and I don't see a reason to make another account for another product so I can just dim my lights a bit and change the color. . .
