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.

Govee is by far the better option for smart lights. I have been using Hue, but they are too expensive and do not offer the functionality that Govee or others offer, and Govee doesn't need a bridge. Also, I could not manage to remove my Hue bridge from Google Home, I tried everything and finally had to switch Google accounts. It's very depressing, Philips Hue has become marginally irrelevant in this space, and very expensive! 1 Govee GU10 is 10 euro, Hue GU10 40 euros!!! Philips Hue=Thieves

It's a nice app, but since the last update, it looses connection with the bulb and wall socket. I just added them again yesterday and everything went well, today when I tried to turn them on, they keep showing Connecting../ Fail to connect. Please look into this. I'm using an Android phone. Thank you!

Does not work 90 percent of the time and I had go manually turn on and off the light. Luckily there is hue essentials app that actually works. Isn't there a single person in that company that cares about their product? My light cannot connect to the app for more than months now there is no other option in the app than to select find lights and wait and then nothing.
