The Philips Hue app
Connect with Bluetooth or a Hue Bridge
No matter if you use Bluetooth or a Hue Bridge with your lights, you can use the same app – even if you decide to add a Hue Bridge later.
Effortless everyday control
Set scenes, dim and brighten the room and turn your lights on and off – all from the same screen.
Organise your lights
Group lights into Rooms and Zones for easy access. Create Rooms for each upstairs bedroom, and then create a Zone to control the entire floor.
Hue scene gallery: personal, professional lighting
Browse popular scenes – which set the lights in a Room to different colours and brightness – to instantly create atmosphere. Not sure where to start? Try out some fan favourites, such as Arctic aurora or Savanna sunset.
Designed by lighting experts
Each scene in the Hue scene gallery has been crafted by lighting designers. Bring professional lighting into your own home!
Browse by category
See every scene in a single screen with the Hue scene gallery, which is organised by style and the feeling each scene creates.
