Philips Hue Starter Kit White and Colour Ambiance: Smart Bulb 2 Pack LED [E27 Edison Screw] Including Hue Smart Button and Hue Bridge, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit

Normally smart lights can be problematic, As several components are needed to get them fully integrated into my home. This comprehensive kit includes everything i needed to get it set up within minutes. My kit included 2 smart bulbs that can be dimmed, Put on timers - and includes a wake up function, And best of all, Voice control. This set gave me a beautiful colour range, Allowing me to set to mood, Times and colours to my exact specifications. The kit also includes a hue button and bridge, Making it very convenient for me to access controls from anywhere. So far I'm very impressed with its performance.

These smart lights bulbs are fantastic, it's great to be able to change the mood of a room by customising the settings and to be able to set programmable times. Installation involves downloading the app, plugging in a few cables, and a few minutes adding the bulbs to the app - there's really not much to it! The only downside I found was that it seems to struggle with displaying shades of green, but it's hardly a deal breaker. A little tip that could save your bacon - get used to setting timers on your lights when you go on holiday or regularly go out in the evenings, it'll look like someone's home ;-)

I’ve played with a number of different types of IoT devices (thermostats, sensors and LED display panels) but this is my first foray into lightbulbs. The Phillips Hue White and Colour lighting starter kit contains two colour bulbs, a switch and a Hue hub. The box contains everything you need and the contents was well packed to protect everything without using excessive packaging. The hub requires a mains electricity source and is connected to your network using an ethernet cable, and the bulbs in this kit are E27 screw fit. So you either need an E27 screw fit socket or you’ll need to change your fittings to match (legally this requires a qualified electrician). Phillips also sell kits with B22 bayonet cap bulbs as well so this shouldn’t be necessary. The bulbs are LED and are quoted as having a 1000h lifespan (three years if on for an hour every day) although I’ve read of Hue bulbs lasting much longer than that. I’m not going to describe the set-up as that seems a bit pointless (and may change). It is however is really straightforward and the hub will automatically find the bulbs provided that they are already turned on when you first power it up. Phillips provide a Hue app (iOS and Android) to control the bulbs and set up programmable schedules, and this can be used inside the house on your WiFI network or from anywhere in the world provided you have a connection to the internet and your home network is running. Hue supports voice control via Alexa and Google assistant (I had no problems getting this going) and home automation - Apple Homekit and SmartThings are supported as are other automation platforms. The Hue hub supports up to 50 devices and Phillips sell a range of bulbs and light fittings as well as switches, plugs and motion sensors. Plenty of room for expansion. The colour bulbs are fantastic and the smart button is great in that it can be programmed to control one or more lights as if it was a regular light switch. Personally my favourite feature beyond the obvious on/off/brightness is the home and away controls so you can make your house look occupied when away. As a starter set this is a little on the pricey side considering there’s a set with two white bulbs (and no switch) available at half the price. The colour LED bulbs are most definitely fantastic but at a price that makes it unlikely you will buy many of them. Phillips could really clean up in the smart lighting space but only if they work on reducing their prices or guaranteeing the bulbs for significantly longer than the 1000 hours stated on the box. I've removed one star because although these starter sets are really good, prices need to be lower.

First I can say that this Philips Hue is excellent stuff. E27 fitted my bedside lamp which I bought from B&M well. Setup is quite easy as clear instruction provided. Only tricky thing was for me that when I had to scan barcode on the bridge for some reason app couldn't accept it so I had to restart the app on phone few times to make it work. Then to control the lights is very easy either you can use the app on the phone (each light can control independently)or use dimmer switch (with it you can dim the lights turn them off and change the colours) of course you can still use these lights with the original on and off switch. Dimmer switch is very small also wireless and magnetic. App is very smart with loads of options such as routines,,Home and Away" you can set time when you coming back home or leaving,,Wake up time" to slowly turn lights on in the morning as well,,Go to sleep" which is my favourite because it dims the lights few hours before bedtime so it makes me to fall asleep a lot quicker. Obviously app have much more options for everyone use. Overall amazing product great quality would definitely recommend.

It did initially take a few times before the hub connected to the screw-in bulbs. Once connected everything worked as aspected via the app. Now I wanted the Phillips Hue to work with my Alex and Hive. This was a lot easier than the initial setup and I was pleased. Please note it also works with Google Assistant and Apple Home Kit. The are many controls in the Phillips Hue App and you can customise your lights to your liking. Its fun and the number of colours are almost endless. 16 million colours and shades of white. Wow, that's a lot. Everybody should have LED lights in their homes as its currently the most energy-efficient way of illuminating your home. And may I add brighter brightness than the old conventional light bulbs. Package includes: Smart Bulb 2x Pack LED [E27]. Hue Button + Bridge The great thing about this pack is that you receive the Hue Bridge. The Hue Bridge uses your Hue bulbs as stepping stones for its Zigbee network, allowing you to add more lights to even the furthest corners of your home. Adding a new device is easy - go to the settings icon - choose Light setup for example and then follow the "Add light" instructions. I love the Phillps Hue technology and will be expanding my home with a mixture of Hive and Phillips Hue devices in conjunction with Alexa - Amazon Echo. I do recommend Phillips Hue, it is pricey but you are paying for the one of the leading brands with robustness and well supported - tested devices.

Viene básicamente lo necesario para domotizar las luces de una habitación. El puente viene preconfigurado por lo que al conectarlo ya tienes vinculadas las bombillas y el interruptor. A partir de aquí es ir añadiendo poco a poco lo que quieras en el resto de habitaciones. La variedad cromática de las bombillas es muy buena aunque el haz de luz está demasiado focalizado hacia la parte superior de la bombilla y muy poco en los laterales. Depende de la lámpara es un poco ineficiente. El interruptor es un poco pequeño. Trae una cinta de doble cara por si no quieres usar el embellecedor y pegar el botón por ejemplo en la mesita de noche.

Produit parfait. Le système hue est vraiment très facile d’installation. Les lumières donnent une ambiance à la pièce.

La qualità si paga, ma questo è risaputo. Non credo che il sistema di illuminazione smart di Philips abbia bisogno di presentazioni. Integrazione con Alexa ed Apple HomeKit strepitosa. Nulla a che vedere con i concorrenti. Mai un errore, mai un comando non recepito. Affidabilità e qualità sono le parole giuste per descrivere il sistema HUE. Ho acquistato questo KIT per completare l'illuminazione smart della mia cucina. Sono pienamente soddisfatto.

Excellent produit, j’en suis ravis! Tellement ravis que je n’arrête plus associer tjr plus de produits connectés de la marque. Si vous êtes un gueek dans l’âme, un flemmard aguerrie ou simplement curieux, foncez. Je possède toutes ses qualités aussi et aujourd’hui j’ai le smile!

Il prodotto è di altissima qualità e la luce è fantastica con una resa cromatica elevata. Il costo è alto ma la qualità è garantita, poi il sistema si può ampliare con tutte le lampadine che si vogliono. Si integra alla perfezione con iOS per gestire la luce anche da remoto
